Very much looking forward to this next month - open to all interested choral singers in the Stamford area (or from further afield!) who fancy joining us at All Saints' (@SaintsOnline ) for the afternoon. Do get in touch to find out more...

A bit of 'professional development' in Lincoln this evening (well, seemed like a good excuse!)... David Briggs on fantastically exhilarating form!

A very enjoyable PM playing for Evensong with new friends up at @StWulframs Grantham today. Just small-scale stuff: Stanford and 'Blessed city', the latter hastily revived so I could step in for them. Good fun!

And a very good day it was too, with an especially affirming and heartening discussion about junior choirs and children in churches. Wonderful to hear of so much fantastic (& necessary) work going on all over. Now to play our part in Stamford!

Excited to be heading up to the #faithandmusic festival in York today (but maybe not so much about the hugely early start to get there!)

Nice (and only slightly strange) to be back in Cambridge, the city of many concerts, for a performance of masses by several Haydns with #CollegiumLaureatum this evening. 7:30pm, West Road. #continuo

Wonderful to have been representing @SaintsOnline in Lincoln today for the inaugural meeting of the new diocesan Choral Churches Network - really excited to see how we can all work together and support each other!

[Benedict Todd @btoddmusic]

Pleased that, as I thought they might be, Guilmant and the Binns organ at All Saints (@SaintsOnline) were rather a good combination for Candlemas this morning :) (Even if the pneumatic action seems to occasionaly be struggling to keep up...)

[Benedict Todd @btoddmusic]

A really lovely programme for tonight's #CollegiumLaureatum 'Leipzig at Christmas' concert - BWVs 40 & 91 always good, but also particularly enjoying companion cantatas by Telemann and Kuhnau.

I’m excited to announce that, from early January 2024, I will be taking up the post of Director of Music at All Saints’, Stamford. @SaintsOnline is seeking to expand its established choral tradition, and I am thrilled to have been appointed to lead this exciting development.

[Great St Mary's, The University Church, Cambridge @GreatStMarys]

Benedict’s last Sunday at Great St Mary’s will be the 7 January, when all are warmly invited to join us for his official farewell at and after the 10am Eucharist.

[Great St Mary's, The University Church, Cambridge @GreatStMarys]

It is being announced at our services today that Benedict Todd, our Organist and Assistant Director of Music, will be leaving Great St Mary’s in January 2024 to take up a new post as Director of Music at All Saints’ church, Stamford.

So incredibly proud of all our choir members (from all sections of our main choir) who worked so hard preparing for and then singing at our Festal Mattins celebrating the #coronation of King Charles III at @GreatStMarys today. A truly brilliant effort all round!

[Benedict Todd @btoddmusic]

Huge thanks also to brilliant colleagues, especially our fantastic ADoM, tremendous trumpeters and with a special guest appearance from the University Organist too.

[Benedict Todd @btoddmusic]

In anticipation of next weekend... this may well be useful to colleagues in other places (who may not yet have seen it): https://t.co/iQw0Z4nao8 . Fantastic that Westminster Abbey have also released this: https://t.co/4Fr578V2kP #coronation
