Fabulous rendition of Dream of Gerontius in Leicester tonight. Plaudits for Bach & Grammar School choirs, Cantamici, Queens Park Sinfonia

@muscati Many thanks. It's a huge improvement on when I used to go to festivals over 20 years ago and always came bottom.

Moderately pleased with achievements at Leicester Festival. Placed third in both Oratorio and Gilbert and Sullivan classes. Merit in British Composer class. The adjudication gives you something to work on. But goodness me, there were no 'performers' even if they were singers. At least I was congratulated on performance.

Not bad at Leicester Festival. 3rd place in both Oratorio and G&S, and merit for British composer class

@muscati Look for a Welsh journalist...

Have to be up at an unearthly hour in the morning to be at music festival. Dream of Gerontius in the evening
