It’s always great to collaborate with my dear friend Tom Shelton on our festival concerts. It was so much fun to rehearse and conduct these young singers.

Now we look forward to next year’s festival with Bob Chilcott next June! Please keep us in mind for 2027 for your choir tour. Every one of our choirs this year has been here at least once before, some many more.
