On Tuesday July 1st I have two pieces being performed by the Loveday Singers, 'In Flanders Fields' and 'The Key To Change'. If you are around Woking or can get there easily I thoroughly recommend you check out the concert, they are a superb choir!

When I studied in Toronto back at the start of the 2010s, I had the joy of discovering so much amazing Canadian choral music.
This is one of my favourite pieces by Ruth Watson-Henderson and I'm thrilled to be working on it with Worthing Choral Society this term.
Concert is on March 22 btw!
