We are SO proud of our legendary soprano Claire Brillon, absolutely smashing it in the winning Cambridge @theboatrace boat. Great to see ourselves singing some @bernardlhughes in the preamble too!

I also sang in @FitzChoir’s performance of Allegri Miserere last night which went really well and I was really happy with it - skip to 16:00 if you fancy a listen! youtube.com/live/ZupXMxntbAI… #CambTweet

Cool to have a film crew in our rehearsal today @FitzwilliamColl following our rowing soprano Claire around for the @theboatrace preamble. Hard work pretending to laugh at @fontegara’s rubbish jokes, though

It is a fabbo piece @kj_funk and we love singing it. Our DoM @fontegara says it ‘tastes like Evensong ought to feel’ and as usual we have no idea what she’s talking about
Congrats to @fitzchoir for their new album The Stalk Had no Knots! It includes a fabbo version of my piece Before the Ending of the Day alongside other choral awesomeness including by @bernardlhughes @_kerensabriggs Arvo Part & Amy Beach youtube.com/watch?v=7eT6fZxA…

Oh yes, please do! This is a première recording of a really quite extraordinary piece written for us. Our DoM @fontegara recommends it warmly to her colleagues provided they read the dedication

We had a lovely choir Christmas dinner this evening at the Carpenters’ Arms

The name of the disc comes from the text to @bernardlhughes’s piece Above the height of heaven, with words from the medieval Liber Celestis of St. Bridget of Sweden’s mystic revelations
