My heart is so full and I feel so lucky.
Now I’m having 5 full days OFF before I kick-start my 2025/26 season!
Alles Gute aus Nürnberg!
The end of a fantastic week with a group of super students from @officialuom.bsky.social have given amazing performances.
Our welcome is Chemnitz couldn’t have been warmer!
We are leaving with full hearts and many new friends and we can’t wait to welcome you to Manchester in November!
The final concert of our residency is underway in Neukirchen.
Thanks to our super singers for their hard work this week and to everyone here in Germany for looking after us so well and giving us a week we will never forget.
This morning our singers visited Einsiedel Grammar School, where they met the students and helped them practise their English speaking and gave a short performance before lunch!
Thanks for the invite!
2/2 , three outstanding soloists and of course our amazing students from The University of Manchester, and it is such a privilege to be their choral director!
Feeling so lucky tonight. We had an amazing show with a near 10 minute standing ovation!
Thank-you everyone!
German debut ✅
One of the greatest honours of my career has been to lead tonight’s performance of Gerontius in Chemnitz!
So many thanks to the wonderful singers from Kantorei der Kreuzkirche Chemnitz, the superb Robert Schumann Philharmonie…1/2
