Several of our choir members had the privilege of meeting the brilliant choral composer Sarah Quartel (Oxford Music) today—what an inspiring experience! A huge thank you to Will Dawes for making it happen. We’re thrilled to be singing her music on our upcoming U.S. tour!

From the north unto the south, ICCC have loved singing Handel's 'Solomon' these past few days with our amazing partners Somerville College Choir and the Oxford Baroque Players! When not raising our willing voices in the choruses, it was lovely being serenaded by the angelic soloists.

✈ We're heartbroken that, due to yesterday's Heathrow shutdown, we couldn’t fly out to begin our U.S. tour as planned. We’ll now arrive in Texas on Tuesday, and all New York events remain unchanged. To lift keep our spirits up, we've not stopped singing! Here’s “Shenandoahâ€đŸŒŠđŸŽ¶

During a moment of downtime before our final engagement at Saint Thomas, Fifth Avenue, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the vibrant city of New York. From world-class museums to beautiful parks, it was a wonderful opportunity for choir camaraderie!

For the final engagement of our tour, we were honoured to sing during the Solemn Eucharist at Saint Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue. It was a true joy to join the choir in worship, and to perform Byrd’s exquisite Ave Verum Corpus as part of the service. Saint Thomas Church

And that's a wrap on our tour to the U.S.! Some wonderfully generous Somervillians made the trip possible: the late Christian Carritt, the Hibbs Family, and the Houston Society of Oxford. We offer them heartfelt thanks for enabling such an enriching cultural experience for us.
