Why perform the Bach Mass in B Minor? Answer from our Musical Director: Because it’s there. These words speak volumes about the magnitude of Bach’s final choral masterpiece. Don’t miss it. Concert 29 March, St Mary’s #Henley. Tickets on sale soon from our website 🎶😃

We need to talk about Emily (2nd left!) So thrilled by the performances of my Emily Bronte settings by Alison Rose & Libby Burgess on my new CD, A Brother Abroad Resonus Classics released 13.12.24 Composers Edition #Bronte #Englishsong

I agree! The great compendium of Bach’s style and statement of faith. Salutations from Chester Bach Singers - performing it on March 22 in my final concert as MD. Can’t wait to get started tonight!

Thanks for the positive review Adrian Ainsworth and your happy memory of Mary’s Hand! Resonus Classics Composers Edition

Good to begin work with Damian O'Keeffe on my Thomas Merton settings yesterday. So good to work with such an intuitive interpreter of this amazing poet Composers Edition
