November 2017 Town Hall Birmingham. Bach’s B Minor Mass
A bit about one of our current bursary singers:
Barney, 22, from Portsmouth, is studying politics at Birmingham University. He says he’s been singing ‘for as long as I can remember’ and aims to go on to a conservatoire to study opera.
’To be a part of the Birmingham Bach Choir has been an excellent experience for me. It has provided a platform to sing a vast array of powerful music, from periods I had not 'worked' much within before, and for that I am very grateful. Furthermore, to work with someone as acclaimed and meticulous as Paul Spicer has been superb, and I believe it has greatly contributed to enhancing my own musicianship.’ (Barney)
