“A PLACE where angels sing” was the theme of the Saint Boniface Concert Society’s second concert of the season on Sunday, June 27, given by the Choir of Clare College Cambridge under their director Graham Ross.

Their heart-lifting and imaginative programme included masterpieces by Byrd, Wesley and Stanford as well as new and fascinating Icelandic choral works, all performed with exceptional musicality by this internationally-renowned choir and their accompanists on organ and solo ‘cello.

On Thursday, July 8 at 7.30pm, the outstanding young baritone, Nicholas Mogg, will be singing in Crediton Parish Church, accompanied by the pianist Jâms Coleman.

Their programme will include Lieder by Carl Loewe and Vaughan-Williams’s “Songs of Travel”.

Nicholas Mogg read music at Clare College Cambridge, and studied Opera at the Royal Academy of Music with Mark Wildman and Iain Ledingham.

He is an Oxford Lieder Young Artist, Britten-Pears Young Artist, Park Lane Group Young Artist, whose awards include the 2017 Richard Lewis/Jean Shanks Award and the Elena Gerhardt Lieder Prize.

Nicholas has sung many operatic roles and appeared as a soloist at the Barbican Hall, Concertgebouw, KKL Luzern, and Philharmonie de Paris with conductors including Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Ton Koopman, and Sir Roger Norrington. He has established a successful duo partnership with pianist Jâms Coleman, giving recitals at the Wigmore Hall, Oxford Lieder Festival, Two Moors Festival, Roman River Festival, and the Ryedale Festival.
