Last week, in between singing Palestrina's Missa tu es Petrus at an ordination at St. Mary's Church, Cadogan Street, and rehearsing for the London Concord Singers concert on July 12th, we went to St. Paul's Cathedral for the amazing experience of hearing the Berlioz Requiem live, conducted by Colin Davis, and took ourselves off to Grange Park for their final weekend, Idomeneo and Queen of Spades, where the weather was kinder than expected.
Coming up we've got more events at the City of London Festival (including JAM's celebration of Judith Bingham's birthday), an interview with soprano, Claire Rutter, and more Berlioz (hurrah!) Les Troyens at Covent Garden.
