Benedict Preece

After a successful first year, we are excited to be building on our success into the next academic year. Please share!

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

I’ve got concerts in Kent and London this weekend. @caritaschoir.bsky.social and the inaugural concert of the Graduati Singers, featuring a world premiere of Phillip Cooke

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”

Some nice concerts coming up in March..

We have three concerts coming up in Kent. Details on the posters 🎅🏻

It was a brilliant afternoon! Thank you for your collective wisdom.

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!

Thanks. It’s a lovely piece

Nice to see so many musicians joining. We must have almost enough now for a decent argument about something.

Perhaps if @patrickallies.bsky.social did another World Cup of anthems (etc.) everyone would join Bluesky?

Haha. I got one of those too

I don’t have a Messiah coming up.. but lots of Baroque music in Kent this month :)

Please share with anyone who may be interested!

Very kind! Thank you!!
