I went to London’s oldest (and most atmospheric) parish church, St Bartholomew the Great, on Saturday 22 March to hear the launch concert for Joanna Forbes L’Estrange’s reimagining of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. My choir, Selly Park Singers is one of 55 choirs worldwide to co-commission this…

Very moving launch concert for #JoannaForbesL’Estrange a Season to Sing, reimagining #VivaldiFourSeasons. Luminosa Voices were on tremendous form at St Bart’s the Great in London. 👏👏

Definitely a lively atmosphere in choir at the moment with members new and old enjoying the variety of music from #joannaforbesl’estrange.
Another fun rehearsal with our quarterly bring and buy fund-raiser too this evening. We’re loving our new work ‘A Season to Sing’ by Joanna Forbes L’Estrange, based on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. 🍁 ☀️ ❄️ 🌳

Now there are suddenly more #classicalmusic people around here, seems a good time to say that the podcast #ChoralChihuahua is well worth a listen - current ep about music for upper voices, and there’s a big back catalogue to explore

Right, made a starter pack for people doing cool stuff on gender in classical music, especially promoting work by women! Let me know if you'd like to be added if this is you!! go.bsky.app/5NNQiYY
