Final rehearsal of the Puccini Messe di Gloria
Final rehearsal in the splendour of the Concert Hall of the Royal College of Music.   This was our first visit to this venue and was enjoyed by all. The platform dominates the room and the sound generated by the choir and orchestra at full throttle is enormous!

Two of the soloists for this concert - Adrian Dwyer tenor on the left with Rodney Clarke bass on the right.  Rodney has sung with us many times in recent years.  His first session with us was on the BBC recording for the 1998 World Cup theme.  Adrian sung with us later in March 2004 for that fantastic performance of Verdi's Requiem.
