A unique opportunity for anyone who loves to sing to spend a summer evening in the glorious setting of Downside Abbey, performing a selection of beautiful choral works under John's direction.

I was useless at sport. One of the nicest things about singing in a choir was that I could still contribute to a team effort, even though it wasn't on the football field. JR Good luck to the teams!

On this day in 1976, ‘Gloria’ was published by Oxford University Press. 50 years later, the work continues to be performed by choirs and audiences around the world.
