Such terrible news. The BBC Singers are integral to our musical culture: there is no other group that does what it does. I feel so sorry for all the fantastic musicians and management staff who have been such a pleasure to work with. This HAS to change bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/20…

As if this week couldn’t get any worse, I just found a parallel 5th in the St Matthew Passion.

Thank you so much for having me Laurence Williams East Grinstead Choral Society! I had a brilliant time performing Venetian works and a new piece by Simon Austin. Such a powerful sound from the choir flanked by excellent brass players: very much enjoyed hearing the Stanford Te Deum finale!
