We’ll be starting work proper on Will Todd’s wonderful ‘Mass in Blue’, along with a special piece by Kristina Arakelyan to mark our choir’s 70th anniversary!

If Mark doesn’t open our rehearsal like this, we’ll be disappointed.

Amazing to hear Komitas on BBC Radio 3 just now! 🎶

Was great to be at @tonbridgeuk today recording National Youth Choir, cond. Joanna Tomlinson Lucy Joy Morris Patrick Barrett Andy McTaggart. Lots of lovely rep including new Kristina Arakelyan commission, and great to see so many familiar faces!
Now on the way to York for more music.

I had a brilliant week singing live with The Choir of King's College London on BBC Radio 3's Choral Evensong - some gorgeous works by Herbert Sumsion, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Kristina Arakelyan's Te lucis ante terminum, as recorded last year with Choir & Organ. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

This International Women's Day we're shining a spotlight on the amazing women composers who make the world of choral music such a great place to be!
