Thankyou @VOCES8 for a fun, inspirational and fascinating choral workshop in Ampleforth . Such a privilege to actually sing with such wonderfully talented people, and on a beautiful summer day! @ryedalefestival @chrisglynn00

We enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime @EricWhitacre choral workshop tonight 🧙‍♂️ @StPetersNorton facebook.com/share/r/1ZvsMq…

Crazy, bonkers... & chasing seagulls in Scarborough. Jess Gillam Ensemble raised the roof in concert tonight at St Martin-on-the-Hill - Bowie's Life on Mars was among the selection of classic & contemporary pieces, all played exceptionally well to the sell-out audience. Bravo!

Thank you so much, @houghhough @DuncombePark

One spellbound audience for @KaleidoscopeCC here in #Northallerton!

Off to a great start at @ryedalefestival. Stunning Beethoven from the Castalian Quartet. Two brilliant collaborations from artist in residence Tim Ridout. And a @RNSinfonia Beethoven 7 that thrilled the audience in @StPetersNorton
