Most choirs are gearing up to Welcome Yule but it’s not our turn for Messiah this year so tonight we’re welcoming St Mark’s Passion! We gave the first performance in Truro in 2015 and look forward to singing it again for Passiontide next year. But we still have plans for carols before Christmas…

Francesca to the rescue! Sadly our soprano for tomorrow is unwell: Francesca Chiejina has stepped in to sing Brahms' Requiem with us instead. She has an AMAZING biography but this looks like Cornwall’s first chance to hear her. We’re very grateful and look forward to working with her.
