We were discussing venues last night - we think the Apex is at the top (pun intended), with Snape Maltings and Saffron Hall as close seconds. Further afield, the wonderful Stables in Wavendon. Plus, of course, churches and cathedrals that add their own 'voices' to the performers' voices.

Sounds like it was terrific! The Apex is such an excellent hall with wonderful acoustics. We know how fortunate we are to hold our own concerts there. Our friends @wolseyorch72.bsky.social will be there in February, conducted by Richard Laing and performing Scheherazade.
