Rosie Holt She was a total disaster in everything she did. Wake up to reality! The strength of the British system is that we got rid of her so quickly. She almost destroyed the country.

We are delighted to announce details of our Summer Festival Weekend 2024: a recital with Anne Bolt (piano) + David Hill (organ), RVW Five Mystical Songs with pro choir, baritone Tom Butler and Rutland Youth Choirs, and a Come + Sing Evensong. artsfortheheartofengland.co.uk/what-s-on

David Hill BBC Radio 3 Tiffin Choirs Thank you, David! You’re exactly right - it all starts with senior leadership who, for us, are so supportive. Without that - and even with all will power - we wouldn’t be able to aspire to such wonderful opportunities…

Listening to BBC Radio 3 Choral Evensong sung brilliantly by Tiffin Choirs & it’s marvellous to hear young voices sing with such passion & commitment. What a marvellous example of what is possible in a State School which takes music seriously.

On my way to T5 for the final stint in residence ⁦Yale University⁩ ⁦Yale School of Music⁩ ⁦Yale Institute of Sacred Music⁩ with my beloved ⁦Yale UniversitySchola⁩ in #Bach ’s Mass in b ⁦The Juilliard School⁩ also celebrating 50th anniversary of #ISM . I’ve so much thanks to them all for 11 fab years. 🙏

Heads are in the books today with the new @RGBWilliams commission, Cusp, which we premiere with @Philharmonia and Williams himself @Southbankcentre on May 16. Today we're focusing on rhythm and melody before we marry them with Rommi Smith’s gorgeous text... David Hill

New Album released today!
“Hie ist das rechte Osterlamm is taken at an unusually slow speed, and resonant bass Edward Grint is clearly in touch with his inner Fischer-Dieskau - exuding assurance and confidence, echoed by lyrical phrasing in the strings”

Interesting re-scheduling on BBC Radio 3 today which has been refreshing and enjoyable. Excellent programme with Richard Morrison and hoping he will manage to speak to people who disagree the arts are being targeted, or perhaps they’d rather not be interviewed?

This is Cusp by Roderick Williams (text by Rommi Smith). It acts as a prequel to The Dream of Gerontius & raises important questions about mortality, which we don't talk about enough. We premiere it with David Hill Philharmonia Orchestra on 16 May. Hear more - thebachchoir.org.uk/concerts/the-d…

V excited about this second collaboration with The Bach Choir which will this time see many of our youngest London Youth Choirs members get the life-enhancing opportunity to perform in an incredible venue with a brilliant choir, professional conductor David Hill & Philharmonia Orchestra

This text by @RommiSmith is from our upcoming world premiere composed by Roderick Williams. 'Cusp' is a companion piece to Elgar’s #TheDreamofGerontius . If Rommi's words stir your emotions, imagine what David Hill and Philharmonia Orchestra will add to this gorgeous poetry on 16 May!

Jennifer Johnston Ravishing singing this evening … what a fortnight you’ve had! And The Bach Choir in very fine voice too, as far as I could tell over the airwaves - a real credit to Daniel Hyde and to their regular conductor David Hill

The amazing chapel at #King ’s #Cambridge and ⁦The Bach Choir⁩ ⁦BBC Concert Orchestr⁩ & Dan Hyde in full flow in #Stanford ’s #Stabat #Mater . Great to be here and support them all. Tonight live on ⁦BBC Radio 3⁩

Absolutely this, as I've been saying like a stuck record. It is a potentially thriving industry, it helps creative thinking, it makes souls sing and keeps minds healthy BUT in the end we should support culture because it's the most glorious celebration of our humanity.

This is a fabulous competition for all aspiring organists. Go for it!
