You’re too kind! It was a great night though. Far from confirmed but hoping Bradford Opera Festival will be back in the autumn of 2024, returning with that legendary triumvirate of high art, comedy and flat caps. Bradford 2025

Any Mahler symphony is a massive deal to me, add on to that the fact that 5 is my favourite and you can imagine how excited I am for this one!

Can’t wait to work with these two again, it’s been too long gents!

And here we go again! Bring it on

We're 1 months into our 3 months stay in Skipton Town Hall , if you get time have a look, it's definitely worth it

I think ⁦Gareth Malone OBE⁩’s TV series about the Bach St John Passion is exceptional public service broadcasting, really getting to the heart of this incredible work of art and enabling it to speak to everyone. Simply superb.

Soundscapes, a wonderful, immersive audio-video installation created by projection artist Michaela French and composer Ben Crick from Skipton Camerata, is on, free, at Skipton Town Hall until 1st June. I can't recommend it highly enough. youtube.com/watch?v=sPsRlB…

Concert day! Rehearsals were sounding wonderful yesterday and we are so excited to share our performance of the St Matthew Passion. Here is our fabulous soprano soloist Jane Burnell | Soprano in rehearsal with orchestra 2 in one of her arias. Tickets still available.

Please indulge me getting my nerd on but this point in the B minor mass where the opening fugue moves to the major key is one of my favourite bits! Tomorrow ⁦Skipton Town Hall⁩ ⁦Skipton Camerata⁩ ⁦Leodis Consort⁩ 7 tickets left!

Apparently Bach put his kids to work copying his markings into parts, a tradition I’m proud to up hold! (I’m paying him) B minor mass tomorrow, ⁦Skipton Town Hall⁩ with ⁦Skipton Camerata⁩ ⁦Leodis Consort⁩ and some exceptional part marking. 11 tickets left

Well this is suitably exciting!

Well I am absolutely loving that video!

Right, the term is banded about but the Bach B minor mass is a masterpiece. Next Friday ⁦Skipton Town Hall⁩ with ⁦Skipton Camerata⁩ and ⁦Leodis Consort⁩ Here’s a snippet of today’s rehearsal, there’s a handful of tickets left…you know you want to…

Follow yesterday’s choir recording it’s solo cello stems today. Cheers to Doug Badger for beautiful playing Louisa Joshua Boultwood-Neale BFI NETWORK It’s taking shape!
