Had a great time working with the wonderful Jervaulx Singers rehearsing in the beautiful Ayriel Studios in the North Yorkshire dales. Excited for the concert next Saturday at 7:30 in St James' Church, Weatherby featuring the Parry Songs of Farewell and Richard Rodney Bennet's haunting Farewell to Arms.

It's back to Bergen in December for two projects with Edward Gardner and the Edvard Grieg Kor. Mahler 2 on the 1st and 2nd, and then Grieg 4 Salmer and Parry Songs of Farewell with Roderick Williams on the 7th. Particularly pleased to be reprising the Mahler as it was the very first piece I performed in this beautiful city.
