Three choirs, three conductors and a prodigious organist. Thank you Tallahassee Community Chorus and Nashville Symphony Chorus for inviting us to take part in last night’s choral jamboree at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall; we loved every minute. André Thomas’ Gospel Mass was a real hit 🎶❤️

Fantastic rehearsal last night at Greyfriars Kirk with the Tallahassee Community Chorus and Nashville Symphony Chorus with their conductors, Dr Michael Hanawalt and Dr Tucker Biddlecombe. Tonight’s concert at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall is going to be epic for sure…🙌🏼🎶❤️ cc @waverleycare.bsky.social

Hands up for Uprising, Jonathan Dove’s vivid new community opera @rsno.bsky.social ✍️ David Smythe bachtrack.com/review-upris...

“…difficult to do this engrossing and imaginative piece of music-theatre justice, and delightful to see just how much of an impact it has had on these working on it, tonight’s musicians, amateur and professional… an amazing tour de force.” 🎶🙌🏼 www.edinburghmusicreview.com/reviews/jona...

The final curtain calls on this epic musical journey into the heart of a magnificent new opera by Jonathan Dove. Uprising - it’s been an uplifting experience for all of us. Thank you @rsno.bsky.social, conductor Ellie Slorach, Director Sinéad O’Neill, and everyone involved in this epic experience.

Amazing evening watching this from @rsno.bluesky.social & the rsno choirs. Stunning experience - powerful, witty, profound, gorgeous, & the performances were fantastic, esp Lola. Using the choirs as the forest & the river was inspired. A privilege to have been there. Thankyou everyone involved. 🙏🌟🌍💙

This was an amazing performance. Brilliant storytelling, compelling music and visually spectacular. Highly recommend for anyone that can make tonight’s performance at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

Another wonderful rehearsal last night. Jonathan Dove’s Uprising gives glorious and moving voice to the anxiety so many of us feel about climate change and diminishing biodiversity. Profound and moving. 🙌🏼🎶 @rsno.bsky.social www.rsno.org.uk/liveevent/up...

Some captures from this evening’s full orchestral rehearsal of Uprising with @rsno.bsky.social. Hearing for the first time the soloists and orchestra, it’s safe to say that this new opera by Jonathan Dove is chorally and orchestrally ravishing. www.rsno.org.uk/liveevent/up...

Shout out to RSNO Youth Chorus and Changed Voices for their part in Jonathan Dove’s Uprising. The energy, commitment and musicianship is just wonderful, and collectively they bring a vivid force to the Opera’s message. Pictured here belting out one of great choral set pieces 🙌🏼🎶 @rsno.bsky.social

Fantastic rehearsal today with the full team involved in this fantastic project: Jonathan Dove’s opera, Uprising. The massed forces the RSNO Youth Chorus and Changed Voices, Chorus Academy Glasgow and RSNO Chorus being expertly directed by Ellie Slorach and Sinéad O’Neill. cc @rsno.bsky.social

Pics from our concert this evening at Paisley Abbey. The programme included the Missa Brevis by Joseph McIntyre (principal timpanist with the Maryland Symphony Orchestra for over 30 years), Bernstein’s joyous Chichester Psalms, and Ives’ Psalm 90.
