It is a pleasure to sing with our Music Director Peter Butterfield because of his choice of repertoire, his sense of humour, his musicality, his expectation that we can always do better and his ability to bring the choir up to a high standard of performance.

Thank you for an excellent performance of St. Matthew’s Passion last night. Thanks be to Peter Butterfield for a superlative job in approximating the heavenly host in a way that all listerners could truly understand. The principals were lovely and affecting, and the orchestra played with elan. An inspiring and enchanting evening!

When you achieve oneness with a composer, even for a few bars, everything disappears. Everything: the individual, the conductor, the music itself. It can all disappear in a flash of perfection.
