Evensong at Windsor, UK

We had a fabulous week at our third UK Summer School last week with nearly 140 singers, both new and returning, from Australia, the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and across Europe.The highlight of the week was working with the renowned English conductor Christopher Robinson to prepare and perform Evensong at the stunning St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, including Stanford's Double Choir Magnificat and Parry's wonderful Blest Pair of Sirens.We are most grateful to the clergy at the Chapel for allowing us to take the place of the esteemed choir and choral scholars for this service during their summer break, and for the extraordinary opportunity for a private tour of the Chapel following the service supplemented by some of its - and the castle's - history.
