That was quite a challenge! With 193 choir members, 56 orchestra musicians, and approximately 300 attendees, it was fortunate that All Saints Church in Leamington Spa was spacious enough to accommodate everyone.
The performance featured the Birmingham Festival Choral Society, celebrating their 180th anniversary, in collaboration with the Atherstone Choral Society and Coventry Philharmonic Choir, accompanied by the Leamington Chamber Orchestra.

Under the direction of David Wynne, the performance features soloists Louise Crane (mezzo-soprano), Tom Ruskin (tenor), and Matthew Nuttall (baritone).

As always, Michael expertly remained unobtrusive while capturing the event, ensuring he did not disrupt the audience's enjoyment of the concert. As a classical music concert photographer, his role is to document the event in a way that conveys the experience without diminishing the enjoyment of those present in the church.
