It's Christmas time! And what an incredibly musical season it has been.
November kicked off with a beautiful concert of Lalande with the Conservatoire Chamber Choir, directed by Jeffrey Skidmore. Singing music only recently transcribed by Nicola Starkie - quite the honour to perform some tricky alto solos as well as such amazing ensemble music for the first time in many, many years!
Via Nova had the pleasure of working with and performing the music of Karin Rehnquist during a week of events centered around her residency. We also premiered a piece by Chloe Knibbs which we shall be revisiting in 2016 in a further Frontiers project. At the end of November, Via Nova were also invited to perform at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival as part of their shorts series.
The Conservatoire Opera Scenes were another hit - some incredibly difficult music including scenes from Parsifal, Magic Flute, and even an entire act of La Boheme! Amazing experience working with Paul Wingfield and Jamie Hayes on my last ever Conservatoire scenes.
Finishing off the Conservatoire Autumn term with a lovely festive early music concert with Martin Perkins and William Lyons in a programme of seasonal music from medieval to baroque periods.
It's been an absolutely incredible 2015 - Thank you to everyone for all their support throughout. Now it is time for a few days R&R with my family in the North, (of course) singing with my childhood choir over the festive period.
May I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a brilliant New Year - L x
