Well, that's our 2025 musical year wrapped up. We send good wishes to all our supporters for the festive season. And check out our new banner: advance warning for our first concert of 2026. Nadelik lowen, onen hag oll; Happy Christmas one and all!

Our final rehearsal of 2025 this evening, in which we’ve enjoyed singing carols just for fun. Our conductor was appropriately be-tinselled and the Christmas tree of Archbishop Benson school suitably festive!

If Christmas isn't Christmas for you without Messiah, it's not in our music programme this year but our friends at Truro Choral Society are singing it next Saturday. Some of our members belong to both choirs, and some of us will also be in the audience. We hope to see you there.

Thanks to everyone who supported the St Petrocs carol service last night, and sympathies who could not make it because of flooded roads. It was good to see you there.

We are looking forward to singing for St Petrocs on 5th December. Our set will include the St Day Carol, one of Cornwall's own carols, in John Rutter's lovely arrangement of it. Do come and support this event if you are free.

We're honoured to be asked to contribute to the St Petrocs carol service this year. Details on the attached poster. Do come along to hear us and support this worthy cause if you are in Truro on 5th December.

Well, that's the Christmas banner uploaded, and yes, that is the @trurocathedral.bsky.social Christmas tree, though not this year's actual tree. But the 2025 tree is up...

Most choirs are gearing up to Welcome Yule but it’s not our turn for Messiah this year so tonight we’re welcoming St Mark’s Passion! We gave the first performance in Truro in 2015 and look forward to singing it again for Passiontide next year. But we still have plans for carols before Christmas…

Warm thanks to our appreciative audience yesterday and our impressive soloists, and it’s particularly cheering that we welcomed so many under 26s. You are our future audience, and perhaps future singers too!

Wishing all musicians & music-lovers Gool Cecilia Lowen: happy St Cecilia’s Day! We’re celebrating it by singing Brahms, with soloists Florian Störtz and Francesca Chiejina & accompanied by our good friends the Three Spires Orchestra. Truro Cathedral, 7.30 tonight, tickets on the door if needed.

Francesca to the rescue! Sadly our soprano for tomorrow is unwell: Francesca Chiejina has stepped in to sing Brahms' Requiem with us instead. She has an AMAZING biography but this looks like Cornwall’s first chance to hear her. We’re very grateful and look forward to working with her.

Another fine Monday in Cornwall today, must be something about Mondays as every other day in the last week has been dire weatherwise! Our final Monday rehearsal this evening, hopefully we will be then be ready for Saturday. Tickets still available via the Minack Box Office, or on the door.

First rehearsal of the new season tonight: looking forward to working on the Brahms Requiem!

Happy Easter to you too! We’re also doing Messiah this year, but not until December: before that we’re tackling the Brahms Requiem in November.

Pask Lowen oll, wishing all our members, patrons, friends and Bluesky followers a very happy Easter.

@cornwallcouncil.bsky.social Dydh da, Hello Cornwall Council and agas dynnargh, welcome to Bluesky. Please could you post imminent road closures here as well as on former Twitter?

Rehearsals underway with @threespiressing.bsky.social for Bach St Matthew Passion, tonight 7pm @trurocathedral.bsky.social Tickets still available on the door

A nice bright morning in Truro, where I’m picking up my preconcert refreshments. One needs good nutrition to get through the St Matthew Passion. Tickets available on the door up to 7pm tonight if you’re able to join us in Truro Cathedral tonight.

We are sad to have to announce that one of our soloists tomorrow, Alasdair Austin, has lost his voice! Wishing you a speedy recovery, Alasdair. But we have found a replacement soloist for our St Matthew Passion tomorrow. Please offer a welcome to counter-tenor Benjamin Irvine-Capel… 🧵1/2

@threespiressing.bsky.social last rehearsal this evening before the performance on Saturday- must remember the 7pm start! It’s going to be an epic evening, tickets still available via @minacktheatre.bsky.social box office or on the door

Had a super evening singing along with Truro Choral Society to Verdi’s Requiem , next up Bach St Matthew Passion with @threespiressing.bsky.social #workhardplayharder #singing #choralmusic

And here we are, ready to rehearse with our friends at Truro Choral Society for tonight’s performance. There are still tickets available if you’re able to come!

Thanks to Truro Choral Society for welcoming so warmly this evening its guest singers from @threespiressing.bsky.social to rehearsal for the Verdi Requiem. We are looking forward to singing this great work with you on Saturday in @trurocathedral.bsky.social

Well, I didn’t expect rehearsal this evening to include mention of Thomas the Tank Engine. His theme doesn’t quite go with Bach. But truly our rehearsals are musically eclectic!

Regular readers of our posts will recall that the gasmen had dug up the access road to our rehearsal venue. Jubilation, the gasmen have now departed and the roads are open again!

Join on 22 March for an evening of Verdi's Requiem. Sometimes described as 'Verdi's best opera", the Requiem promises both rousing spectacle and whispering moments of atmosphere echoing around the cathedral. 📆 Saturday 22 March ⏰ 19:30 - 21:30

Basses in fine voice this evening. Our St Matthew Passion is certainly shaping up to be dramatic!

We've got a lot of exciting events coming up at #TruroCathedral throughout March including exhibitions, concerts and tours! 💯 Find out more information on our What's On page 🔗 buff.ly/BFtbLYm

Thanks @trurocathedral.bsky.social, it’s great to hear news of Käthe and her exciting new job in South Carolina. Please pass on to her our best wishes for her work at Trinity Cathedral.
