The week culminated in a performance of Vivaldi's Gloria, with the young singers joined by the Gabrieli Consort and the Orquesta de València. The Gabrieli Consort opened with Handel’s Dixit Dominus and collectively we sang a special encore of Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring

Incredibly lucky to have spent the day with @CBeqMacD - an inspiring series of in-school workshops and choir sessions. Feeling fuelled and motivated to implement fresh ideas to renew our whole school choral framework with exciting and challenging repertoire choices.
