I am delighted to be joining Spelthorne Choral Society as bass soloist for their spring concert, performing two choral masterworks: Haydn’s Harmoniemesse and Beethoven’s Mass in C Major.

Haydn’s final mass, the Harmoniemesse, is celebrated for its grandeur, lyrical warmth, and rich orchestration, while Beethoven’s Mass in C offers a deeply personal and expressive interpretation of the traditional liturgical text. Both works will be accompanied by organ and performed in the beautiful setting of St Peter’s Church in Staines-upon-Thames.

A lunchtime concert featuring arias and duets sung by our talented young artists. 

Last year our formal West Green House Opera Young Artist Covers Programme commenced, which allows us to extend the invaluable mentoring of young artists at this most important stage in their early careers. In addition to the principal cast members, thanks to the generous sponsorship of our patrons, we are now able to offer a second cast of principals the chance to learn a completely new role, not only the musical score but also the dramatic presentation, shadowing the principal cast throughout the rehearsal and performance period. The programme culminates with a showcase in London in July, to which the artists can invite colleagues and industry professionals who they want to see their work and this year, for the first time, a lunchtime concert during the opera season to showcase their talents at West Green.  And if ever one of our principals cannot take to the stage, our cover artists will be fully prepared to take over……this is often how the stars of tomorrow are born!
