Always a delight starting a new season & this year is no exception. Our main focus is Rutter's 'Hymn to the Creator of Light', performed at the dedication of the Herbert Howells' memorial window in Gloucester Cathedral in 1992 plus his iconic 'Requiem'. https://t.co/Mq93DNQWVI

Last stage of the journey back from @ECEChoral near Montpellier. Here in beautiful Caen which suffered so badly in WW2. Miraculously the two abbeys survived and we visited the Abbaye aux Hommes this afternoon. Extraordinary and moving building. Home tomorrow.

A truly wonderful @ECEChoral week in the south of France near Montpellier at Chateau Rieutort. 40 lovely people most of whom are part of the ECE ‘family’ have come together to sing (concert today) and renew or make bonds of friendship. Fabulous food, great music & a lovely time.

We hope our singers were up bright and early this morning to begin our last ever ECE course in France. Chateau Rieutort is a beautiful place, and with a wonderful repertoire and excellent food from Alison and Ken, we're confident everyone will have a wonderful time. Enjoy!
