Wonderful concert last night, with the Maesbury singers. It was billed as a concert for 3 queens; they sang some madrigals and songs from the time of Elizabeth 1st, plus some songs from songbooks put together for Queen Elizabeth II's coronatioon and Jubilee. The best was one of the most modern, an African prayer and blessings.
The second half was devoted to a performance of Dido and Aeneas, which was absolutely superb. I knew the choir was good, but their soloists were even better. I was in two minds about going on my own, but I am so glad I did.
