LBS Prize

The award of the London Bach Society's Bach Singers' Prize, at St George's Hanover Square (the church where my parents were married 82 years ago). The winner, Jolanta Kowalska, a Polish soprano, sang the Laudamus Te from the Mass in B Minor among other favourites, an the whole concert was a fantastic birthday treat. Patrick Matthiesen, who donated the prize, is on my left, and Ian Partridge, chairman of the judges, on my right.
