Always a fun time of year when our prospective #ChoralScholars come and try us out. They’ll get to sing the War Requiem in Ely Cathedral in March - not bad, eh?
We’re wondering which section Britten was thinking of when he scored this. Rumour has it that it’s the second tenors… #WeCouldntPossiblyComment #SillyFellows!

Oh yeah!!!
It was a great year and some wonderful music. Now a summer break and then THIS!!!!
Our summer concert was a blast (you should have been there) but tomorrow our attention turns to the autumn and a really sexy programme of thought-provoking music. The poster's not bad either!
