Bach - Christmas Oratorio - Mayfield

19 November 2023, 22:00

I played first trumpet in a sold-out concert of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio at St. Dunstan’s Church in Mayfield in East Sussex. I performed this festive work with the Mayfield Festival Choir, directed by Jeremy Summerly, on Sunday 19 November 2023.

The orchestra was led by George Clifford (violin) and the trumpet section featured Russell Gilmour, William Russell, and Imogen Whitehead, with Laura Bradford on timpani. 

It was wonderful that we could use the church organ as the continuo organ for this performance, and it was so nice that the conductor presented me with his flowers at the end of the performance!
