TODAY: Join us at 6pm in Goodnestone, Kent for an hour of beautiful choral music. Here’s a little taste of what we will sing, Tallis Salvator mundi, which we sang only last week in The Netherlands to a sold-out Grote Kerk in Steenwijk 🎶 @benedictpreece.bsky.social

We are excited to receive another positive review of our latest album.

“This is a most enjoyable disc where the music is performed to an extremely high standard. Tuning and intonation are beyond reproach and the recording is both warm and clear”

I see the early music crowd hasn’t arrived yet. They’ll probably join in a couple of hundred years but still claim to know how things were done at the beginning.

I think it was the top B in the first tenor part I used to dislike 😂 (if I remember rightly). Both of those movements are so beautifully written.

Sounds great! Are you doing the whole mass?
I always remember finding it harder to sing this piece on a Sunday morning 😅

Yes! Quite a few ex-Canterbury choristers ended up being conductors. Obviously HC but also famous ones Christopher Seaman (who incidentally wrote a brilliant book on conducting) and Stephen Barlow!

Our podcast Choral Chihuahua, now in its 9th season, is packed with insight–and a touch of humour.

Recently Eamonn Dougan interviewed conductor Sir Mark Elder about a life in music. Who knew he was a cathedral chorister?
