I loved performing a diverse programme of Romantic Classical, Contemporary Choral and Folk arrangements in Kew Gardens during weekends throughout June and July. We were pop-up performers as part of their magical ‘Secret Life of Plants’ Festival: After Hours.

Improvising while birds tweeted their evening song above us and geese rambled around us, insects scuttling across the wood of my cello! Performing amongst the plant architecture and sculpted hedgerow; singing acapella rounds while we carted our wheelbarrow through the gardens, the sun setting slowly over Temperate House. It was an incredibly beautiful and memorable project and we were so lucky with the weather!

Tenor: Mike Solomon Williams
