Shout-out for the Royal Berkshire Hospital Mozart Choir, some of whom don't read music, who have worked their scrubs off to learn Mozart's requiem and sing it with us @royalalberthall on 12 May. Huge achievement. Take note BBC Berkshire



It's concert day at Strovolos Theatre Nicosia. The 90-strong Cyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra and their 24 singers plus 125 TRBC singers. The largest gathering of classical musicians ever heard in concert in Cyprus. Here in rehearsal with Emily Gray and maestro Brian Kay.


Another highly successful show for TRBC in Nicosia last night, boosted by players (and singers!) from the Cyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra. Let's not forget the brilliant behind-the-scenes work of Specialised Travel: immaculate organisation and in control of every crisis.

Those who DO like it and fancy conducting it Royal Albert Hall on 10 November can bid to do so in our auction raising money for the British Heart Foundation. Can we have a shout-out on BBC Radio 3 #R3Breakfast please Petroc Trelawny? Details trbc.co.uk

Not often that Mozart's Requiem starts with the Hallelujah Chorus, but it did at this afternoon's rehearsal, with Thomas Road singers fitting the words of Happy Birthday to Handel's tune in honour of conductor Brian Kay's 80th birthday.


And thanks to The Royal Society of Musicians for being such fantastic partners over the past few months and working so well with Royal Albert Hall staff on the day. You worked really hard and deserved every penny you raised!

Thank you Rachel Speirs and @BethHHallett together with Ruairi Bowen and Ossian Huskinson for wonderful singing Royal Albert Hall.
