Although my junior choir was not officially on duty at church today, I was delighted to see one of them in the congregation this morning and another, with his parents - not previously churchgoers - at Evensong. THAT’s what happens when you get kids engaged with church music!

This sets an alarming precedent. Monday evensongs are occasions of beauty and solace, illuminated by the excellence of SJV and the inimitable @salsachoirboy. The idea of a quiet night in chapel does not justify the removal of such an incredible choir. This should be reversed. – at Cambridge, England

We are having a fantastic first week of services with our new Director of Music, Chris Gray: welcome! We began with the tranquil polyphony of Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli, and we're also preparing some of Handel's Coronation Anthems to mark the Coronation with @AAMorchestra

Farewell James Bowman, who fearlessly forged a beautiful and glorious path that every countertenor since has been so grateful to follow. We couldn’t have done it without you. Forever a great. Rest well. m.youtube.com/watch?v=DDMoER…
