We welcomed our Joint President, the world-renowned tenor Mark Padmore, to join us for our rehearsal this week.

Working alongside our Musical Director, Hilary Campbell, Mark shared his unparalleled expertise of Bach's St John Passion.

Mark helped us unlock new layers of this masterpiece. Mark's unique insights into the text and phrasing have transformed how we approach this epic work - bringing a new level of intimacy and power to our sound.

Members described the rehearsal as "brilliant", "A truly inspiring rehearsal", "An unforgettable evening"

We are now more excited than ever to share this powerful work with our audience.
