The last time we performed #Bernstein’s #ChichesterPsalms was back in 2018 for #BBCRadio3 to celebrate the composer's centenary. Eight years is a long time to wait to sing this wonderful work - a favourite of so many - again. Come and listen at our concert on 5th July

Dear Dragons Den - we'd like funding to create our own @datconductor.bsky.social action figures so we can still practice under his watchful eye even when we don't have a rehearsal due to Easter 😏😁.
