TODAY: Join us at 6pm in Goodnestone, Kent for an hour of beautiful choral music. Here’s a little taste of what we will sing, Tallis Salvator mundi, which we sang only last week in The Netherlands to a sold-out Grote Kerk in Steenwijk 🎶 @benedictpreece.bsky.social

We are excited to receive another positive review of our latest album.
“This is a most enjoyable disc where the music is performed to an extremely high standard. Tuning and intonation are beyond reproach and the recording is both warm and clear”

I see the early music crowd hasn’t arrived yet. They’ll probably join in a couple of hundred years but still claim to know how things were done at the beginning.

Yes! Quite a few ex-Canterbury choristers ended up being conductors. Obviously HC but also famous ones Christopher Seaman (who incidentally wrote a brilliant book on conducting) and Stephen Barlow!
Our podcast Choral Chihuahua, now in its 9th season, is packed with insight–and a touch of humour.
Recently Eamonn Dougan interviewed conductor Sir Mark Elder about a life in music. Who knew he was a cathedral chorister?

Nice to see so many musicians joining. We must have almost enough now for a decent argument about something.

Perhaps if @patrickallies.bsky.social did another World Cup of anthems (etc.) everyone would join Bluesky?
