The project is pleased to announce forthcoming concerts, new repertoire, and further plans for 2019 - please check back for updates!

Chosen Hill, Churchdown, Gloucestershire.

A sacred, much beloved place. 

With views of the Malverns and the Cotswolds, a source of inspiration for: 

Gerald Finzi (In Terra Pax, Nocturne), who took Ralph Vaughan Williams up the hill in 1956;

Herbert Howells (Piano Quartet in Am - The Chosen Tune); and

Ivor Gurney, who used to walk up it nearly every evening. 

Place of my school cross country runs, sledging trips, and family walks.
