At our classical spectacular concert on 12th September at St Mary’s, there will be a performance of Condatis - a piece written especially for our bass soloist Graeme Danby and brass band.

It is a beautiful piece based on a poem about the North East of England - where Graeme and the composer Steve Robson are from.

Here’s a snippet - we will be launching our full recording after the concert. Come and hear it in the beautiful surrounding of St Mary’s Church, Hitchin.
