Immense fun performing Tippett’s Opera ‘New Year’ this week with BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and brilliant soloists. Ross Ramgobin’s vocal gymnastics a highlight for me (slightly different from opera scenes at @RoyAcadMusic all those years ago, mate!) topped off with a yummy curry with BBC Singers!
Great few days in Glasgow with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra featuring some Tippett, a loch, a curry, a park run. Not necessarily in that order. Thanks for having us! BBC Singers
