A couple of years ago I got an opportunity to support the Broom Leys Choral Society in their annual summer concert and it has become a bit of a habit. Today was the first of two rehearsals to pin down the preparations.

This one was without the choir although a few of the members came along to sing their solo or small ensemble pieces with bass and drums joining their regular piano accompaniment. I’d done a fair amount of preparation but I also took the precaution of recording the whole session. I’ll do some more work before next week’s rehearsal with the choir, which will help me add in notes and corrections that I didn’t manage to jot down while playing and make sure I am set to give an excellent performance.

Details of the concert are below:
