#FNOP #Proms #BBCSingers

After the awesome news about @owainpark.bsky.social becoming our next Chief Conductor, celebrated by listening to our #songsfromtheshows on #fridaynightismusicnight #BBCRadio3 @bbcsounds.bsky.social Great music, great singing, and great fun. Happy memories! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Before & After. Pre- and post- Beethoven Missa Solemnis at the @bristolbeacon.bsky.social with @bristolchoral.bsky.social & British Sinfonietta Hilary Campbell Susanna Fairbairn @petedavtenor.bsky.social & Frederick Long last night. What a piece! Also the backstage snacks were next level...🎵

Last #BBCSingers gig of the year. Us four will see you again in 2025! #teamtenor

Great to be back at work with my awesome #BBCSingers colleagues. Looking forward to our #FridayNightIsMusicNight concert tomorrow with the #BBCConcertOrchestra

Always makes me smile! #LondonOratoryScholaCantorum sounding fantastic and it should be a good concert tonight. ALL arias from within the choir, including a very assured ‘Frohe Hirten’ from a 15 yr old. Will be out of work in a few years!

Another early start, but looking forward to singing more #Bach with #LondonOratorySchola today! #ChristmasOratorio

A very special project to be a part of. Thank you #SpringheadConstellation for letting me be a part of the beginning of something special. Until next time! #Bach #Charpentier

Another long travel day ending with a fantastic concert in #KonzerthausDortmund . Now off home for a couple of days before finishing off the tour in Versailles! #SpringheadConstellation #Bach #Charpentier

#LIVEfromLondon The #BBCSingers join actor Adrian Scarborough for Dickens at Christmas. ❄️ Readings from Dickens' festive writings are interwoven with carols including Tavener's The Lamb, The Holly and the Ivy & In the Bleak Midwinter. 🎟️ £14 Watch now: www.livefromlondon.org/christmas24-...

Concert 3 done in #PhilhamonieLuxembourg and a lovely standing-ovation for #SpringheadConstellation . Great work everyone! Makes the long travel day worth it. #Bach #Charpentier

Concert day in the amazing #KonzertHausWien . And we’re all here so can have an actual rehearsal this time! #SpringHeadConstellation #Bach #Charpentier

From 2:02:00 in, have a listen to the #BBCSingers performing O Oriens by #DavidMcGregor and conducted by #TobyWard as part of the #BBCRadio3 #AdventCalendar it’s a brilliant piece that I really enjoyed working on!

Some amusing signs on the way to Hamburg airport

Another travel day, but this time there isn’t a concert at the end of it! #SpringheadConstellation on their way to #Vienna

What a special concert. Wonderful to be involved in the first #SpringheadConstellation gig at @elbphilharmonie.bsky.social especially as the travel gods tested us! Post-concert beer tasted lovely, in case you were wondering… #Bach #Charpentier

We’re here! Now to get to the @elbphilharmonie.bsky.social in time for the concert (just over 90 mins to go!)

We’re still hopeful, but the increasingly-delayed flight means we’ll be cutting it very fine! #SpringheadConstellation #Bach #Charpentier

New flight booked, and hoping #SpringheadConstellation make it in time to have some sort of rehearsal before our concert at @elbphilharmonie.bsky.social tonight! good luck to fellow musicians trying to get to their gigs today! #StormDarragh

When your flight tomorrow is cancelled due to #StormDarragh !

Really great first rehearsals (and first social!) for the new #SpringheadConstellation. Can’t wait to tour with old friends. #Bach #Charpentier

Love singing Bach. So good for the soul. Charpentier ain’t too shabby, either! This tour should be fun!

Such a wonderful thing for the #BBCSingers to be a part of. Thank you, Steve and get well soon, Valentina! ❤️

On way into Maida Vale as #bbcsingers are the choir for the conducting students at #RoyalAcademyofMusic this afternoon. Looking forward to seeing what the future of choral music holds!

Come and join the #bbcsingers as we start our Christmas celebrations on 5th Dec with the absolute force of nature that is Abel Selacoe. www.bbc.co.uk/events/erp4mb

Coffee between services is a must! Especially after last nights #StNicolas antics. Would love a lie-in, but reckon my 6 month old will have something to say about it.

Looking forward to singing this today to help celebrate 50 years of #MKChorale and 50 years (to the day!) when they first performed this piece! Here’s to many more years! ❤️ #keepsinging #Britten #StNicholas

Killing time between gigs and my wife has treated me to lunch at one of my faves…

Time to kill so walking from work 1 to work 2. Love a cold, clear day!

Great day’s work with #BenGoodson on our upcoming #BBCSingers #LiveFromLondon programme at the #Voces8Centre getting me right into the spirit of… nope still can’t say/type the word as it feels too early…! #NotEvenAdventYet

So wonderful seeing and hearing about the brilliant things that #DioceseOfLeeds Music Department are doing. #OldStompingGround

Packed lunch between services in the still-new-to-me pedestrianised area in Aldwych. Hot drink is the quite decent (and effective!) 49p filter coffee from #Pret

I do love singing this music. And always a joy to sing it at #StJamesSpanishPlace my first regular church job when I moved back to London, and now run by my former #CardinalVaughan organ teacher! Really does feel like family when back here. ❤️

Today might be a coffee-injected-straight-into-my-veins type of day… I don’t just have bags under my eyes, I’ve got a full luggage set!

A #BBCSinger colleague showing another impressive string to his bow. I wonder if he’ll join us over here sometime? #JamieWHall

#ReadingHaydnChoir doing an INCREDIBLE job with the #CPEBachMagnificat and #HaydnMariaTheresaMass it’s amazing that there are amateur choirs taking on such demanding works! Massive respect! #KeepSinging

Now there are suddenly more #classicalmusic people around here, seems a good time to say that the podcast #ChoralChihuahua is well worth a listen - current ep about music for upper voices, and there’s a big back catalogue to explore

Off to Reading for some vocal gymnastics with #ReadingHaydnChoir! A fiendish, but fun solo gig today. Always lovely when a fellow #BBCSinger is part of the line-up too! #EdPrice #CPEBach #Magnificat #Haydn #MariaTheresaMass

Here we go… Let’s see if this is a nicer place to be! #BraveNewWorld
