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.

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.
