It has been a busy week with some stunning performances at the Buxton Festival, where we covered five productions (see our Buxton Festival page) and two further visits to Opera Holland Park, where we covered Eugene Onegin and the Christine Collins Young Artists performance of Gianni Schicchi (see our Opera Holland Park page).
Sandwiched in the middle, I was singing in the London Concord Singers concert Polish Adventures at St. Mary's Church, Cadogan Street, Chelsea; a programme which ranged from music from the earliest collection of Polish baroque music, to music by three major 20th/21st century Polish composers.
This coming week includes the premiere of a new piece by Roxanna Panufnik at Cadogan Hall, by the Schola of the London Oratory School, and the Jette Park Young Artists performance of Rossini's Viaggio a Rheims at the Royal Opera.
