The final summer Monday rehearsal of our choral year. For the last time in 2025 we shall drive home in daylight!

Two Monday rehearsals to our concert. Time to reveal our soloists for the Rachmaninov Vespers! 🧵1/3

Three Monday rehearsals to go before our concert... so far a fine evening in Cornwall!

And here’s that flag display!

Our rehearsal venue this evening is appropriately & generously flagged for the VE 80th anniversary week! Keslowena, congratulations to Archbishop Benson Primary School.

The Easter break is behind us, so it’s off with Bach, on with Church Slavonic!

We’ve just heard that local journalist @leetrewhela.bsky.social has won a national award as Local Democracy Reporter of the Year. Keslowena, congratulations Lee, and we hope to see you at one of our concerts again soon!

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.

Hoping Mark Smith @seatsixtyone.bsky.social has seen & heard this somewhere in his travels!

@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

Just 3️⃣ days to go! On Saturday (5 April), @threespiressing.bsky.social and Orchestra perform J.S Bach's St Matthew Passion 🎶 ⏰ 19:00 - 22:00 Tickets are still available and can still be purchased via our website 🔗 buff.ly/vAhDhQy

@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.

Our friends at Truro Choral Society have asked us to mention their imminent concert to you. We are happy to oblige. We do, of course, have some mutual members and a few of us will also be joining them as guests (well, it’s a big sing, isn’t it!) All details on the attached flyer.

Truro Cathedral Choir had a wonderful time singing Choral Evensong live on #BBCRadio3 yesterday! 🙌 If you didn't manage to catch it live (or indeed if you'd just like to listen to it again), it is available on #BBCSounds for the next 33 days. Take a listen 👇

It may be Ash Wednesday, often a busy one for singers, but it is St Piran’s Day too. Gool Piran Lowen onen hag oll, happy St Piran’s Day to our our members, supporters and all Cornish people, especially the musical ones (which obviously applies to most of you)!

Interesting journey to rehearsal tonight. The gasman hath come and dug up the road to our rehearsal venue. Cue much last-minute re-routeing! Still thin on the ground, hopefully everyone will get here eventually…

If there is no choir near you, let the choir come to you! Online choral singing lets you experience high-quality music-making from anywhere in the world - all you need is an internet connection. See for yourself - drop into our free open rehearsals next week! 🎶 choiroftheearth.com/latest-news/...

It's time to announce the soloists for our performance of the St Matthew Passion on 5th April. Tickets available at www.minack.com/three-spires... 🧵1/7

Lovely surprise to be welcomed to the Hall for Cornwall this evening by @petroctrelawny.bsky.social for a stunning concert of Scandinavian music played by Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Cornwall is so lucky to have world-class music like this performed here.

And here is our poster for St Matthew Passion on 5th April. Please forget about the end of the tax year and come to hear this wonderful music. AND PLEASE NOTE THE START TIME!

Vaughan Williams Scholarships of up to £8K each for postgraduate composition study will be awarded in 2025/6. These scholarships are open to applicants who demonstrate exceptional compositional talent and who intend to make composition their professional career. 💻 Details via our website

The poster for our St Matthew Passion performance will be out soon, but for a glimpse of the art work check out the new banner on this account. Ideal sculpture for this music!

Here we go again!

First Monday of the new year and first rehearsal of 2025 tonight! Travel in Cornwall isn’t too bad today either. Reminding members about distribution of music tonight: if you need to pick up a score please try to arrive a bit earlier than usual so we can still start on time.

Wishing our members and supporters a very happy festive season and hoping you will join us in 2025 for Bach in April and Rachmaninov in July. Meanwhile, nadelik lowen ha bledhen nowydh da oll!
