We greatly enjoyed performing Handel's Messiah yesterday at @ManCathedral, a perfect start to Advent and the Christmas season.
We had around 800 at the cathedral; one of our largest ever audiences. We can't wait to share more music with audiences later this season.
A spellbinding new film of Curlew River, made during the 75th Aldeburgh Festival production at Blythburgh Church, will be broadcast on BBC Four at 7.45pm next Sunday, 17 November.
