Crumbs, it’s been ages since I wrote one of these so here goes, I just hope my memory serves me well for some of the performances that were a few months ago…

We had a steaming return to SJSS on J... continued

I first discovered the music of Ivor Gurney when I was in my first year at music college and heard Sleep performed in a lunchtime recital. I immediately fell in love with the piece. I remember thinking that it was utterly perfect, and headin... continued

It really doesn’t feel like that long ago that I was auditioning for the Tenebrae Associate Artist scheme, so looking back on the scheme as I prepare to leave it feels very strange indeed! What I think strikes me the most ... continued

My very first appearance with Tenebrae was back in 2006 for some of the sessions for the Allegri Miserere recording. I’d been at Westminster Cathedral for just under a term and had had my Tenebrae ‘audition’ when Nigel had stepped in for m... continued

Greetings from St. Louis, Missouri. After a gruelling early start in Pittsburgh, and not one but two flights to contend with, we were welcomed to the Gateway City with sunshine and warmth, and not a penguin in sight!
