Huge thanks to Sir John Rutter (@johnmrutter) for conducting this beautiful performance of one my tunes (published by OUP/@OUPMusic)! And thank you to Cambridge Singers and the @royalphilorch for gorgeous singing and playing. Looking forward to the album!
Out today! The second single from A Cambridge Christmas is Matthew Owens’ arrangement of The Holly and the Ivy. Listen out for the woodwind dancing merrily above the melody – like little Christmas elves!

2027 marks the 300th anniversary of the first performance of Bach’s St Matthew Passion. Rarely performed in Northern Ireland, this iconic work will be brought to life through @ulsterconsort with the support of the @ContinuoFndn, to which we are most grateful. Watch this space!
