Archives are not just for paper! Found in ours, a 45rpm single of Christopher Swain playing Bach's Three Chorale Preludes on the Nicholson organ in our Chapel. Qs about our archive? archives@hmc.ox.ac.uk @theorganmanual @explorearchives

Always a jolly time and a revelation. There are so many new carols out there and we have a stunning mix this afternoon @BBCRadio3 with the @BBCSingers at King John’s one time HQ, Temple Church in the old City. I’m there and @PennyGore1 has lots more great music, all from 2.

I don’t want to close 2023 without sharing “Tribute to Abdelwahab” with the stunning voice of @FatmaSaid , with whom I shared a wonderful concert this year at the Berlin Konzerthaus in March. Enjoy! 🎶 Now available on #Spotify 🔗 bit.ly/Tributetoabdel…

2023 Westminster Readings and Carols is a wrap! Music by @PaulMealor @JamesWhitbourn @DanForrestMusic were among the highlights! A thrill to have Levi Hernandez '99 sing the Mealor "Coronation Kyrie " with the Westminster Choir !
