We were thrilled to perform yesterday at Kew Gardens, sharing our Nature project with over 400 people. It was the ideal venue for us to raise our voices for climate justice, and to celebrate the natural world with music by Handel, Delibes and Britten. Thanks to all who attended! ❤️

There’s also 'Chanson écossaise' by Ravel and 'Valentine Card', a mischievously mocking musical monologue by Jeremy Nicholas (our favourite line: "My ego is my amigo").

You’ll hear the haunting beauty of Tosti’s 'L’Ultima Canzone', the quiet elegance of Lalo’s 'L’Aubade', Coward’s bittersweet 'If Love Were All' and two Sondheim gems: 'The Girls of Summer' and 'Love is in the Air'.
