It was fantastic to see our new V&A event space buzzing with energy during the latest Welly Unplugged. Thanks to our incredibly talented musicians who delivered a captivating mix of acoustic classics and originals, creating a laid-back and enjoyable evening for a packed audience.

A busy final week of term @WellingtonUK, with evensong @StPaulsLondon and a Bach cantata recording with @PeacockAdrian and @TheHanoverBand. All this amidst the usual mix of coursework deadlines and exam revision - a real testament to our pupils’ dedication, energy and commitment

A joint evensong @StJohnsCam - the perfect way to end a brilliant day in Cambridge. Many thanks to @AnnaLapwood for working with our organists, to @JSummerly for working with our choir, and to Stephane Crayton @Kings_College for working with our L6 composers!

Why Wellington is One of a Kind! - House Singing The theme for this year's event was the Grammys, and we can confirm it was truly 'outstanding'! A massive thanks to @Welly_Music and Theatre Team for crafting another event that closely resembled Britain's Got Talent.

Before this weekend’s carol services, a chance to reflect on the last few weeks @WellingtonUK: a tour to Portugal, evensong at St George’s Windsor, Brahms’ Requiem with orchestra, and various Remembrance events. As ever, a privilege to work with such committed pupils and staff

Do come and support this year's Christmas Carol Concert @StMarysChelsea, featuring musicians and alumni from @GuildhallSchool, if you can. Tickets (last few remaining!) and auction details available here: shorturl.at/kqG78

Some highlights from a busy week @WellingtonUK: masterclasses with Neal Davies, workshops with Rupert Gough and @RoyalHollChoir, and a fabulous concert of Bach’s Cantata ‘Nach dir, Herr’ with choir and strings. Now for a half-term tour to Portugal!

Good to be back @StMarysChelsea for services looking ahead to the Nativity of the BVM on Sep 8. The usual mix of plainchant and polyphony, including Palestrina’s Missa Ave Maria and this beautiful motet

After yesterday’s @RodolfusFound evensong @Kings_College, time now for a @BBCRadio3 recording @stjohnscam. A privilege to work with these committed singers and a total joy to witness such enthusiasm for choral music, both here in Cambridge and on the Junior Course @WellingtonUK

An action shot from King’s College taken by one of our Accompanists, Jack! Thank you to Dan Hyde for directing the service and for sharing his wisdom during a very productive rehearsal! Well done to all for fantastic singing, especially very sensitive psalm singing! 🎶

Back in Oxford to hear @WellingtonUK pupil and @Oundle4rganists prizewinner Yejoon give today’s lunchtime recital @QueensCollegeOx. A fabulous programme of Bach, Buxtehude and Distler youtube.com/live/ec4MRwCBC…

Some pictures from Saturday's historic services @WellingtonUK. Exceptional contributions from the Chapel Choir, organists and trumpeters, and enthusiastic singing from all. The perfect prelude to the extraordinary events @WAbbey and elsewhere over this #Coronation  weekend

OW Todd Harris is working with our a cappella groups this evening. Here, the Wellingtonix (3rd and 4th form) are getting their mouths round some serious tongue twisters!

A busy term @WellingtonUK ends today with a recording session and two services for Lent. Congratulations to the Chapel Choir (together with violinists and continuo) for an excellent performance of Bach’s sublime Cantata BWV 150

House Singing - It's the favourite event of the year for a good reason! Congratulations to @TalbotWelly for their winning performance of I’m Still Standing. Worthy mentions to runners up @WellyAnglesey, @HardingeWelly and to @Blucher_Welly. ow.ly/Tu8l50MASiC
