Still on a high from singing with ⁦Platinum Consort⁩ ⁦𝕊𝕔𝕠𝕥𝕥 𝕀𝕟𝕘𝕝𝕚𝕤-𝕂𝕚𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕣⁩ this weekend. Fabulous repertoire (When David heard/Weelkes, Tomkins, Gombert); expert supportive direction; flawless admin + totally adorable people!

Thus saith my Cloris bright by John Wilbye - in rehearsal! We so often show you the finished product of our workshops, but of course it takes a bit of honing! Here’s a little peek into the process… 💁🏻‍♂️

Lovely little clip from today’s Early Nights cohort: John Bennet’s Weep, O mine eyes. Fitting, as there’s just one workshop left in this series! 😢😢 Always nice also when the Lenten church matches our branding #platinumpurple 💜😉

We’re back at our beautiful riverside home of St Mary’s Battersea for our first Bach Club this year! 🌊⛪️🎶 We’ve already ticked Cantata BWV 38 off this morning - next up is number 39, ‘Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot’ (Break your bread with the hungry).

And with that, Early Nights: House of Medici has begun! We started our new series with music by Agricola and Dufay - we enjoyed our little dip into the Medieval period! 👑

Does anyone know any fabulous upcoming (or indeed established) Baroque timpanists within striking distance of London? 🥁Please RT 🙏🏻

The Herbert Howells Society Oxford Music Wise Music Classical Clare College Clare College Choir Graham Ross The whole choral sheet music system is broken! Price aside, it often takes an AGE to receive them, especially in large batches. These days there needs to be more effective ways to access sheet music - whether that be a more robust PDF system or easier-to-obtain licenses.

Happy Pride!!!! 🏳️‍⚧️💜🏳️‍🌈
