A New Year begins….
During our 18-month forced sabbatical I have had time to reflect on what gives meaning to my life and what new changes I need to make going forward. As much as I love music and presenting concerts, spending time in silence has also been very powerfully healing and given me time to reorder my brain. It is with cautious optimism that we move forward into a new season, and it gives me great pleasure to rev up the engines and get back in the ring.
I have missed pouring my soul into the music of Rachmaninoff; I have missed hearing the pristine choral sound of the GBC. I have missed the vigor with which the GBC Baroque Orchestra responds to my every nod and sniff, but mostly I have missed the happy faces and satisfied ears of our enthusiastic audiences upon hearing the passionate performances the Chorale offers. The good news is we are back with the energy, refinement, and passion that you too have missed.
With all the Covid protocols in place, I promise you a marvellous season of the highest calibre filled with the music that you know and love…
Here’s to 2021 and 2022!
