Their treble line really took off when they partnered with Anita Morrison to train their trebles around 2005. Then Scott Price (2012-) took them to another level in developing soloists for their annual Handel's Messiah and Ceremony of Carols performances. Their trebles now make regular appearances at Covent Garden and on Danny Elfman's soundtracks.bachmahlerfan wrote: ↑<span title="Wed May 31, 2023 1:46 am">1 year ago</span> I wonder if this choir has ever had a pair of treble singers as good as Kaelan and Malakai.

The other one was involved in a production of Britten's "Turn of the Screw". However, I think the current pair is even better.

They had him quite some time longer than that, lol.Surpinto wrote: ↑<span title="Wed May 31, 2023 10:30 am">1 year ago</span>Luckdragon wrote: ↑<span title="Wed May 31, 2023 3:12 am">1 year ago</span> I do know they had some rando soloist named Isaac around 2014-2015.
Sam Lyne-Hall? Fantastic treble, wonderful Bass. Best singer of the Dec 2022 Messiah for me. A remarkably settled and assured Bass for his age, and still just a great tone and superb musicality. He asserts on his Linkedin that he is an aspiring opera singer. I wouldn't bet against him.bachmahlerfan wrote: ↑<span title="Wed May 31, 2023 1:46 am">1 year ago</span> I wonder if this choir has ever had a pair of treble singers as good as Kaelan and Malakai.

Sam was one of the two. I don't think the other one is with the choir anymore.Celtic wrote: ↑<span title="Fri Jun 02, 2023 12:02 am">1 year ago</span>They had him quite some time longer than that, lol.Surpinto wrote: ↑<span title="Wed May 31, 2023 10:30 am">1 year ago</span>Luckdragon wrote: ↑<span title="Wed May 31, 2023 3:12 am">1 year ago</span> I do know they had some rando soloist named Isaac around 2014-2015.

I saw the RPOAT production, but got the other Miles...
He was a Bass in the 2022 Spring St John Passion, but that was presumably his last year.bachmahlerfan wrote: ↑<span title="Fri Jun 02, 2023 12:14 am">1 year ago</span> Yes, that's the one.

CVMS posting reminders of their next concert again today. I really wish I could make it, but Buckfast Abbey is trillions of miles away in Devon. A place so remote and strange, the monstrous inhabitants put the cream on their scones, BEFORE the jam...
But, although unlikely, I have not entirely ruled out trying to attend...
