At the midpoint of our concert tour, it was hugely uplifting to sing for Mass at St Bernard Catholic Church, Pittsburgh, dusting off the plainchant propers we sing every day at home. Altoona, PA today, before we reach the finish line in NYC

We were thrilled to see the largest audience of the tour so far at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, Altoona, PA last night. Final stop, a spring weekend in NYC

Our commemoration of #PopeFrancis began on Monday with the plainsong Missa pro defunctis. Tomorrow we return to WestminsterCathedral, having paid our respects at St Peter's, to clothe that same plainsong in the beautiful harmonies of Maurice Duruflé. 12 noon Requiem Mass.

A complete sell-out at Veszprém Cathedral Basilica for the first of our concerts for the Con Spirito Festival in Hungary. Big thanks to our hosts, and to the most enthusiastic audience ever - apologies that we didn't bring enough encores! filharmonia.hu/en/festivals/c…

A pleasure to sing in the beautiful Mátyás Templom at the heart of Buda's Castle District this evening and to have broadcast live on Radio Bartók. Stunning views across the river to Pest, and a packed church loving plainsong, Tye, Tallis, Victoria, Howells, MacMillan & Byrd.

"If you want to see heaven, come to Pécs." So reported the Budapest newspapers when the ancient Cathedral Basilica was restored in the 19th century. But what if you also want to hear heaven? 👇Our song ❤️‍🔥 #HowellsSalveRegina

The rehearsal for our final concert in Hungary took place at the Magyaracanã Stadium in Szeged. In a tense, fraught contest with many injuries, the Choristers achieved a Pyrrhic 3-2 victory over the Lay Clerks and WCCS staff.

We turned the heat and spice up in Szeged, 'home of Paprika' and to a massive Cathedral that was completely sold out for the final concert of our Hungary tour. Huge thanks to our friends at Filharmonia Magyarország for a fabulous trip.
