Versailles, France

Today is a day of firsts. The first concert of our new term; the first day of the group’s second half-century of music-making; and the first concert for me and Nick as members of The King’s Singers! It is an exciting time, and I am delighted to be able to write to you today.

Tonight, we perform in Théâtre Montansier in Versailles, France for the first show of 2019.  I am told that it is a wonderful venue for us to begin our 51st year.  I am looking forward to 8:30 pm with excitement, and a frisson of nerves. 

I’d like to thank the other chaps for providing such a wonderful and productive learning experience over the past few months and I look forward to meeting many of you as we tour the world.  

Anyway, I must leave you now to get ready.  My debut begins in just seven hours!
