From Strauss’ Four Last Songs to Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra and Dvořák’s  Mass in D, over the last few months we have all missed out on exciting performances from many of the community and youth ensembles who regularly perform at St John’s.   We have however enjoyed the opportunity to catch up virtually with representatives of a number of these choirs and orchestras via our newly-established forum, sharing tips on working digitally and comparing notes on how and when we might return to live music-making in large numbers.  We look forward to further virtual roundtables over the Summer, and the launch of our new interactive ‘Advice & Exchange’ series, produced specifically for the community and youth sector.  If you would like to find out more, please contact SJSS General Manager Lydia Brookes on [email protected]
