Reviewing Our Mother at Stone Nest for The Guardian, Tim Ashley writes, “The singing is lovely…Catherine Carby is all intense, tragic declamation…everything is done with such commitment and sincerity that you cannot help but be moved by it.”

Thank you @RobertHugill 🙏
Abstract & immersive, @figureensemble's staging at @StoneNest_LDN of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater with interludes by @alexjosephmills concentrated on dramatising the emotional arc of the music. My music theatre review planethugill.com/2024/03/lus…

Following a sell-out run of @figureensemble's 'Our Mother', @fiorimusicali have sold out their Good Friday concert in N'hamptonshire. Baroque concerts in special venues work so well! 📅Fri, 29 Mar, 6pm 📍The Most Holy Trinity Church, Hinton-in-the-Hedges go.continuoconnect.com/fiori…

“Although lacquered in Marian mysticism, the themes are universal: motherhood, bereavement, and compassion for others”—from Frederick Waxman’s intro to his wonderful @figureensemble performance with @alexjosephmills of “Our Mother” this evening—so fine that it verged on liturgy

After an intense start of the week with two competition semis, I’m soo happy to have joined this tour, getting straight back on that joyful music-making train 🥰
With rehearsals starting this week, the Monteverdi Choir celebrates its 60th anniversary with Handel’s most dazzling choral showpiece 🌟 There are still tickets for our one night performance @smitf_london on the 22nd March 🎶 🎟️ via our website
