Well, Friday's lunchtime concert in Studio 3 Gallery saw the first time when extra chairs were being called for at one of our #EarBox events: the audience just kept coming! It's always a real treat when we start rehearsing in the campus' art gallery in the Jarman Building; the first chord we sing fills the marvellously resonant space - and off we go... This time, we were singing amidst 'The Ash Archive,' the gallery's latest newest exhibition, filling the space with music including Sarah Rimkus' otherworldly O Vos Omnes, and Rachmaninov's sedate Bogoroditsye Dyevo (in rehearsal with assistant conductor, Matt Cooke, pictured right). It was a pleasure singing for such a large and appreciative audience; later this afternoon, we're heading out to the village of Hernhill, near Faversham, for a sequence of music and silence in an unusual event; pictures from that to follow. Many thanks to everyone who came along, and to the gallery co-ordinator, Rose Thompson, for helping to bring it all together.
