Carol Concert - Christ Church Mayfair

I played with the Quintabile Brass Quintet for a carol concert at Christ Church Mayfair on Thursday 12 December 2024. I played with Sam Kinrade (trumpet), Emily Allen (horn), David Pitts (trombone), and Stuart Beard (tuba). It was wonderful to perform these well-arranged carols with these fine brass-playing friends and colleagues.

I walked to Mayfair from St. Pancras and enjoyed seeing the Christmas lights along the way, particularly along Piccadilly. It was also nice for me to hear these traditional carols sung in English, and also to play in a concert that didn’t involve performing a solo trumpet aria like Großer Herr, o starker König from the Christmas oratorio [BWV 248], ‘The Trumpet Shall Sound’ from Messiah [HWV 56], or Wacht auf, ihr Adern und ihr Glieder from BWV 110—but there will be plenty more some of those this weekend, and in the following days, in Hamburg and London.
