Head's Newsletter 11 December 20209

Alongside these concerts presented by the school, the choir will also appear in the London Handel Festival (recorded in November) and on CD, with the release of ‘A Tiffin Christmas’ featuring not only our choirs of 2020, but also Tiffin’s choirs of the past 60 years.

In place of our live concerts, this term Tiffin musicians have appeared in an array of online performances, collected to form our series of ‘virtual concerts’ streamed in October, November and December. Beginning with the annual Inter-form Choir and Piano Competitions, the series has continued with our recent Soloists’ Recital (1/12) and Autumn Ensembles Concert (8/12). Technology has allowed more musicians than ever to participate, recording from different times and spaces to assemble solo and ensemble performances of all kinds. With improvised, in-house interpretations of the click tracks used by film and television orchestras, and with a little multi-tracking and video editing, it has been possible to bring the performers together as live.

Whilst Tiffin musicians, like those across the world, are looking forward once again to performing live and unrestricted, online performance brings with it the opportunity to listen again. And so, if you’ve not yet experienced any of this term’s concerts, do drop by the Tiffin Music Virtual Concerts page, where you will find these performances and more: Click here to view all the Tiffin Music Virtual Concerts Click here to listen to the Autumn Ensembles Concert on 8th December 2020
