On Sunday 26 April 2026 I visited Mayfield in East Sussex to perform Handel’s Israel in Egypt. The 2026 Mayfield Festival opened with this performance at St Dunstan’s Church, conducted by Jeremy Summerly, with George Clifford leading from the violin, and the following soloists: Natalka Pasicznyk (Soprano), Aneska Diament (Soprano), Alexandria Moon (Alto), Francis Melville (Tenor), Edward Burchinall (Bass), and Gabriel Tufail-Smith (Bass). I played first trumpet, with William Russell on second, and Elsa Bradley on timpani; we played alongside the trombonists Steph Dyer, Martyn Sanderson, and Guy Morley.
