We're not the only ones celebrating our 40th season - you may have noticed a little show called #Eastenders has also just turned 40! 🎉 Let's look back on that Christmassy episode we were in back in 2013. As you might expect, it's all carols and crying... and Carol's crying 😭 #VersatileChoir

We wondered what bass soloist Blaise Malaba was doing when we were rehearsing the Dies Irae... now it all becomes clear 😆. We're on a road trip to #Oxford for #VerdiRequiem at the Sheldonian Theatre with Oxford Phiharmonic #versatilechoir #singing #classicalconcert
