RSCM Jubilee Come & Sing with Brian Kay

We are delighted that this fabulous day of music-making will be led by the irrepressible Brian Kay, conductor, broadcaster and singer (and RSCM Vice President), and will be accompanied by RSCM Director Hugh Morris.

This is an excellent opportunity to come together and sing glorious music which celebrates the Jubilee of the RSCM’s Royal Patron, in a wonderful setting in the very shadow of the royal palace, Windsor Castle. It includes the uplifting new anthem, In Our Service, as well as well-loved classics.

‘If you enjoy choral singing to sing under Brian’s baton is a delight. He is so good at communicating the music, and knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the music, that singing with him is a joy. I even followed him to Krakow in Poland to sing with him!’
