Today’s the day the @choiroftheearth.com perform Haydn’s incredible Nelson Mass at Esterházy. It’s a huge honour to be here walking in the footsteps of the great man himself, singing his music with a global choir and raising €1000s for local charity.

When he was a youngster, Papa Haydn was fired from the choir at St Stephen’s Cathedral in part for cutting off the pigtail of one of his fellow choristers 😬. Now he’s back in his new crocheted form as a tourist! @choiroftheearth.com #crochetedhaydn
