I am lucky to be a Platinum Chorister. Every Sunday through the year we rehearse together and sing concerts, an evensong at Southwark Cathedral, an advent service at Hampton Court Chapel Royal and … our very special concert of Handel’s Messiah at St John’s Smith Square, this year on Saturday 23rd November.

I am raising funds to help finance the 415 Orchestra - all baroque instruments - to accompany us as we sing The Messiah. It will be an amazing evening and tickets are available from St John’s Smith Square website if you’d like to come.

Please consider sponsoring me through the link on this page. I shall be practising my trumpet for 415 minutes (which is 6 hrs 55 minutes ….). Thank you for any donation you can give. Let’s keep music alive together!

This is what my conductor has written about Platinum:

By donating to our cause, you will help us to pay for our exceptional freelance musicians, allowing full artistic authority over the quality of the performance. This is not only beneficial for the professional Vocal Consort but provides a unique experience for the young Platinum Boy and Girl Choristers. Having the Consort, Choristers and 415 Orchestra all forming one Platinum ensemble increases the sense of belonging and ownership of each performer, enhancing the experience for the audience.  

Putting on this concert with all its moving parts will not be possible without your support, so please consider donating today!

"Thank you for a really terrific performance last night. It had the same excitement as hearing the piece for the first time!" – Penny, audience member 2022
