Delighted to have been able to return and conduct the choirs for this service. Delighted for @ChristChurchESh, the whole parish and @SheenJesusSheen as the new Team Rector.
My last Sunday after 2 happy years at @ChristChurchESh. Grateful for being able to lead the music in a supportive and appreciative place working with @SheenJesusSheen. There’s a lovely job here going for someone who will take it into the next chapter!
@wjbdawes Bit of a tangent and a controversial opinion perhaps but I really find adding a text to an orchestral work problematic! It superimposes meaning which the composer didn’t intend it to have… I have no problem with a vocalise though!
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Thomas Coxhead as our new Director of Music. Tom is currently in South West London and previously held posts as Assistant Organist at Ripon and Brecon Cathedrals.
Tom will start in September, at the start of the new choir year.
Scrolling past this I thought for the briefest of seconds this was @JeremyClarkson (it’s the jacket and jeans)… not sure if Clarkson really is planning to explore a career as a concert pianist but who knows.
Excellent rehearsal @ChesterBachSing last night - ready for Cecilia McDowall’s A Winter’s Night with @TomCoxhead & Bethlehem Down, Leighton Lully lulla & other delights. Off to London to hear @sonorochoir sing my Balulalow tonight - also on Sat’s menu! @ComposersEd
Looking forward to joining Penshurst Choral Society and @JoeTobin on Saturday in the lovely #Penshurst Parish Church. A real treat to conduct mine and @LizzieCoxhead’s My eyes for beauty pine for the first time since its first performance!
