In April Janet had been due to conduct Saffron Walden Choral Society and the Chameleon Arts Orchestra in Alec Roth’s A Time To Dance paired with the Bach Magnificat. SWCS hope to reschedule these wonderful pieces in due course.
A programme in the SONORO series Choral inspirations was to include Janet’s Beati Quorum Via (Homage to Stanford) as well as Sarah Cattley’s Sicut Cervus. Janet and her chamber choir Granta Chorale were due to share the Saffron Hall platform with Neil Ferris and professional chamber choir SONORO in March. Sadly the event fell victim to the pandemic but all hope to pick up the project again when possible.
