I will be joining my friends Deborah Thorne (cello) and Denise Treissman (flute), in the beautiful octagonal chapel of St Antony's Priory in the ancient city of Durham. The chapel is very special, with a sculpted wooden altar that stands in the centre of the space and a sense of light flooding the room. |

Denise, Deborah and I presented a day here together a few years ago.
We found the acoustics, the warm welcome and the sacred atmosphere of the chapel, gave us the perfect setting to weave the sounds of our voices and instruments together for a joyful and profound experience. We are looking forward to returning to this special place. |
