Our annual trip to Alba Iulia in Romania was splendid once more!
Our old friend Mihai Coser invited us once more to host an evening of vocal harmony - this year our guests were the excellent Berliner quartet - Delta Q.
They were terrific:- as ever, wonderful to meet another vocal band & to share in their excellence; they are indeed a teensy weensy bit younger than us! - nonetheless very very accomplished.... especially enjoyed their funky In einem kühlen Grunde & their countdown medley... great ending too... I feel good!
Steve was good enough to sing Skyfall - this time accompanied by us and Chris Hatt, who flew out to join us on piano - and Delta Q also sang an Adele number - clearly she is well-loved in Romania as the songs went down good!
Now we look forward to our gig with St Edmund's School, Canterbury - we had a rehearsal with them tonight, and the pieces we are doing with them already sound great - and they are still rehearsing all next week... should be cool at Grosvenor Chapel on July 9th....7.30 (It's in central London!)

EPAM London concert
The EPAM 'Music is Everywhere' Christmas party...
Wonderful evening at St Mary-at-the-Wall in the City - lovely church... a friend who was there tells me it looks in fine nick because it had a fire in the 1980s and so the decor is all rather new (and of course beautiful!)
Lovely to finally watch the super Voces8 live, as they joined the EPAM stable this year; and also the splendid Fugata Quintet who did some excellent Piazzola.
Two school choirs were also on show, and were excellent; one the choir from Beaumont School, St Albans who sang together the lovely Second Eve by Ola Gjeilo (published by Edition Peters):- also their six-part male voice group who beautifully sang a wonderful song from Adele. The second choir were from St Edmund's, Canterbury who sang Shenandoah. Both groups had worked with Voces8 in workshops.
All the choral forces joined together to sing John Cage's Four² - a great experience!
Looking forward on Saturday to a sold out gig at a room in the Royal Albert Hall - wanted to, but just could not leave the words "a room in" from that last sentence!
