Do I know anyone who attended the premiere of John Tavener's The Veil of the Temple in 2003? If so, it would be great if you could get in touch!

Of everything that has happened over my near-decade at King's, one thing that makes me so happy is @choirofkcl.bsky.social's collaboration with @ednesbit.bsky.social. Some wonderful choral works have come into being as a result of it, and I'm so thrilled that album no. 2 is now in the world!

I'm lucky enough to have had an advance listen, and can confirm that it's well worth getting, if you can. @choirofkcl.bsky.social sound fantastic as always, and I really like how @ednesbit.bsky.social works with some lesser-known texts.

In Antarctica: Marching
In Antarctica: Marching YouTube video by Edward Nesbit

As things are getting a little bit snowy in the UK, this song by Ed Nesbit from his song cycle In Antarctica (2021) seems apt! The text is taken from the diary of Captain Scott on his 1910 expedition to the South Pole.
