Counterpoint is based in Devon, England & the choir sings at Buckfast Abbey and records and broadcasts in the UK. The choir has toured in England and in France.
Our concert on Saturday, 27th June at Buckfast Abbey starts with a reflective chant from Hildegard von Bingen, sung by Judith. It has a 2-tone drone sung by the tenors & basses - this is from a concert in Loctudy, Brittany from 2025, sung by The King’s Counterpoint.
Tickets are selling fast for our first Counterpoint concert since 2015! On Saturday 27th June, David & Judith return to Buckfast Abbey from the USA to bring together a host of past choir members to sing glorious sacred choral music in this glorious acoustic. See you there!
@tedcruz Ours just went from $4.19 to $3.55. Ours was never $2.00 at the beginning of the Russian invasion. In England gas prices are around $8 per gallon, Biden’s fault - I don’t think so!
Have you booked your ticket yet for the concert @ Buckfast Abbey? The King’s Counterpoint are combining forces with members of Counterpoint in this wonderful concert of sacred choral music from around the world. Premiere works and old Counterpoint favourites!
Having heard of the sad passing of Dr Francis Jackson, I have just listened to Andrew Nethsingha’s recording of Me in G with St. John’s College, Cambridge. What a revelation! Sheer beauty!
Because I was drunk and full of self-loathing last night, I decided to watch my @wigmore_hall concert from Wednesday. I've no idea why, but the stream threw up occasional (and wildly inaccurate) subtitles. Here are some of my favourites:
Some members of our sister choir The King’s Counterpoint in South Carolina are also members of the Parish Choir at Old St. Andrew’s on Route 61 in West Ashley. Here they sing Be still my soul.

This clip of The King’s Counterpoint singing O nata lux by Tallis was recorded two weeks ago during the Piccolo Spoleto Early Music Series concert in St. Philip’s Church, Charleston.

Great review for our sister-choir The King’s Counterpoint from last Saturday’s Piccolo Spoleto concert, as part of the Early Music Series.
