So excited about this concert on 19th December @htsmguildford with @Elliot_Mercer - the choristers are finally into the Britten and we have a new version of my cantata with string quartet! Please do buy some tickets and we will help you into the Christmas spirit

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

@lucywalkermusic Hi Lucy - hope you’re well! Is your Mag & Nunc going to be published/available somewhere? Very keen to see if it’s manageable by the choir at HT Guildford 😊

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

A great joy to bring HT Choir to sing with @GuildCath yesterday. A choir of about 100 and nearly 80 under 18s - a remarkable achievement and a sound to match. Thank you @dieneswilliams for having us! https://t.co/ybejkIA7Ed

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

This was a great day and I am so proud of all our singers 🥳 Ably led and supported by our wonderful clergy

[Ben Cahill-Nicholls @bcahillnicholls]

Alleluia! Christ is risen! A highlight of today @HTSM_Guildford has been the extraordinary ministry of our choral foundation - today, over 60 singers across two services, giving us Dyson, Wesley, L'Estrange, Mawby, Goodall... it is an enormous honour to minister alongside them.

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

@GWRHelp Hi Ryan, I’ve done that, but like I say, it just says delayed - there’s no information about what the problem is or whether they will run later so I can get home!

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

@GWRHelp Any news of trains from Guildford to Wokingham? 21.14 just showing as delayed and next one cancelled - Will any be running this evening?

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

A joy to welcome our new rector, Simon Butler, to Holy Trinity last night. I was so proud to show off the choir of 70+, singing some beautiful MacMillan and Bairstow, in addition to soaring descants like this.

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

A few days on, what a joy to celebrate Christmas at Holy Trinity, Guildford. The choirs are a shining light for what great Church music can be - over 40 young people singing amazing music (@_yshani, Lauridsen, Mathias, June Nixon, Rutter and more) to full churches. What a place!

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

@Oli_Tarney Yes! We've been doing it at both HT in Guildford and my school @SalesianSchool, where it has similarly been named 'the piece with the cows' (with great affection of course!)

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

@tedneyy I think the best descant is the one by Martin How - it is banging and rarely done (it's from one of his cantatas). I picked it up @croydonminster and now do it in Guildford

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

@FootballRamble My brother and I visited San Marino when interrailing in 2015! It's essentially just a big hill and you couldn't even buy a San Marino shirt. Enjoyed the one hostel in the place displaying this sign though...

@PGS_Musicians @PGS1732 @RGSGuildford @GuildCath @PortsmouthCath @dieneswilliams @DrDavidPrice @OPJWS Ooh these sound great - do you know where one can get a copy? No obvious sign online! 🤞

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

And I am proud that we continued our record of inclusive programming - we particularly loved @K8yCoo’s piece at Eucharist and @JoForbesLE’s responses!

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

A wonderful weekend @bathabbey with Coro42. I am lucky to have such skilled friends - a great joy to sing in such a beautiful building.

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

Very lovely to be 'up the hill' with @bcahillnicholls's wonderful choir this weekend. A treat to finally play the organ at @GuildCath and grateful to @MatthewRPianist for filling in at @HTSM_Guildford.

So exciting to welcome @GuildCath @HTSM_Guildford for evensong today. A real privilege for me to conduct evensong with @dieneswilliams - there can't be many places in the country that had 200+ for evensong today, including ~80 young singers! Thank you all.

[Guildford Cathedral @GuildCath]

Still time to join us at @HTSM_Guildford for a joint Evensong at 6pm.

A choir of 94, not to be missed!

[Nick Graham @NickGrahamMusic]

A sad, but special day today @HTSM_Guildford as we said goodbye to our beloved rector, Robert Cotton. It was wonderful to have 76 singers, 12 instrumentalists, @Will_Todd_Music and more for special music, including the first performance of my piece, 'Clothe yourselves with love'
