A busy final week of term @WellingtonUK, with evensong @StPaulsLondon and a Bach cantata recording with @PeacockAdrian and @TheHanoverBand. All this amidst the usual mix of coursework deadlines and exam revision - a real testament to our pupils’ dedication, energy and commitment

A joint evensong @stjohnscam - the perfect way to end a brilliant day in Cambridge. Many thanks to @annalapwood for working with our organists, to @jsummerly for working with our choir, and to Stephane Crayton @Kings_College for working with our L6 composers!

Why Wellington is One of a Kind! - House Singing The theme for this year's event was the Grammys, and we can confirm it was truly 'outstanding'! A massive thanks to @Welly_Music and Theatre Team for crafting another event that closely resembled Britain's Got Talent.

Before this weekend’s carol services, a chance to reflect on the last few weeks @WellingtonUK: a tour to Portugal, evensong at St George’s Windsor, Brahms’ Requiem with orchestra, and various Remembrance events. As ever, a privilege to work with such committed pupils and staff

Good to be back @StMarysChelsea for services looking ahead to the Nativity of the BVM on Sep 8. The usual mix of plainchant and polyphony, including Palestrina’s Missa Ave Maria and this beautiful motet
