Once again I'm writing my blog back at home, this time after our trip to Germany and France (and also Switzerland). As Johnny wrote on Saturday, Hannover was wonderful, with two sold-out performances with the NDR Radiophilharmonie, conducted by Frank Strobel. This featured our orchestral Great American Songbook programme, with a few new orchestral arrangements added for these concerts. You have the chance to hear this show in July as we join the orchestra for concerts in Schleswig Holstein, Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, Wiesbaden and Grafenegg.I'm glad to report that we made it in time to Thones for our concert, despite the travel issues. The atmospheric concert was accompanied by a thunder storm that rumbled overhead for much of the evening, and continued as we drove back to Geneva to find our hotel. At the concert we performed some of the new Palestrina settings, which we will record in a week's time. Tomorrow we head to Cambridge for a couple of days of rehearsal, plus a concert in Sidney Sussex College Chapel on Wednesday evening. Come along if you're in the area for some fantastic settings of words from the Song of Songs, along with some of Palestrina's beautiful Marian motets. I can't wait to immerse myself in this wonderful music.
