England’s esteemed Harrogate Music Festival has invited us to feature in their 2019 program.
I would be honored if you and your singers would consider an invitation to join us for rehearsals and a gala concert there following optional individual concerts in London.
Harrogate is far North from the hustle and bustle of London, a gracious spa town just 30 minutes from York (and the York Minster!). I know you will enjoy the contrast between London and the stately Harrogate.
The Harrogate Music Festival is the jewel in the crown of the Harrogate International Festivals program and we are to be a featured guest event in the 2019 Festival. Previously, the breathtaking Royal Hall in Harrogate has been the venue for KIconcerts gala concerts in the Harrogate Music Festival and it has been proposed again for 2019.
Be in touch with me for further information on the musical elements of this festival and with KIconcerts for touring information.
See you in England

Join Frank Ticheli in Toronto, Canada - summer 2019
Let’s gather in Toronto to rehearse and perform together for a spectacular gala concert on Canada Day, July 1, 2019.
I am very pleased to be leading this festival of fine North American bands. We will rehearse and perform together as a festival ensemble in addition to staging participating bands individually.
I look forward to performing with you and your ensembles – I always enjoy the magic that is unleashed when a composer and performers join together to find new ways to interpret and express music. It can be thrilling.
The combined repertoire will also feature other North American composers as we honor the week in which both Canada and the US celebrate their national days.
There is nothing like touring an ensemble in summer as a culmination of the year’s esprit de corps. Our festival will amplify this further as we create fine music with new friends before appreciative audiences in Canada’s capital city.
I look forward to hearing from you if I can answer any questions as we prepare for this great band event.

Singing The Coronation Anthems in the land of Handel - London 12/27/18-01/01/19 - with Simon Carrington
Dear friends
I am pleased to have the chance to conduct the Handel Coronation Anthems once again in my home city of London.
I would be delighted if you would consider joining me in late December 2018 to ring in the New Year with this timeless piece of music so identified with all things Royal and British. This time of the year is one of the cheapest to travel to Europe making this a very attractive package.
The festival runs over 3 days allowing flexibility for pre/post touring throughout the UK. In this time we will rehearse together, invite you to perform individual concerts and present the Coronation Anthems as a new year gift to the people of London.
There is nothing like bringing disparate and talented voices together with an accompanying orchestra. I welcome your thoughts on whether this might be a good fit for your full choir or indeed a group of singers even if your choir cannot tour in its own right.
I have collaborated with KIconcerts on many festivals in the past and know you will enjoy working with them as much as I do. They can answer any of your questions about the touring aspects while I welcome any questions in relation to the musical elements.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Simon Carrington

10 reasons to consider performing with Z. Randall Stroope in Ireland next summer
I have been giving some thought to reasons you might wish to consider joining my 2018 Ireland festival:
- Safe, comfortable yet distinct, historic and cultured
- Affordable and often a nonstop direct flight
- Search for a 4 leaf clover, track down an ancestor, sight a leprechaun
- Breathtaking sights: Rock of Cashel, Blarney Stone, Cliffs of Moher, Kylmore Abbey, Belfast, Derry, the Titanic, Christchurch Cathedral, St. Patrick’s Cathedral
- Grand venues, intimate performances, appreciative audiences
- The festival experience with a pre or post customized tour
- Individual concerts as desired
- Exchange concert opportunities, learning River Dance moves, pronouncing Gaelic if you dare
- Touring with KIconcerts - an easy, happy & efficient experience given my recent festival collaborations with them
- Ireland; where the roads…‘rise up to meet you’
In friendship

2018 Montreal Choir Festival with Henry Leck and Joshua Pedde
Dear friends
I am delighted to have been invited to co-conduct the 2018 choral festival in Montreal with Henry Leck.
I know that all choir directors look for touring experiences that are safe, represent great value and which offer wonderful musical opportunities in a cultural context different to their choir’s home environment. While some of my colleagues look for festival settings others prefer custom tours. I believe this festival offers the best of both worlds with 2 three-hour rehearsals, a dress rehearsal and the gala concert. The rest of the touring time is yours to plan with KIconcerts along with additional performances as desired.
I am excited to again share the podium with my friend and colleague, Henry Leck. We look forward to welcoming you in Montreal for a musical experience second to none. We will celebrate the French culture of this great North American city together creating great music that honors every singer and enthralls the audience.
Je vais vous voir à Montréal

Happy summer – see you on tour or online!
With our summer tours about to fan out across the globe we stop to give thanks for all the happy returns already this year including:
Just this week these ensembles are warming hearts:
In the next 6 weeks we are also staging concerts as far North as Reykjavik and as far South as Sydney and in between: Poland, Spain, France, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, UK etc. There are festivals with Dilworth, Dickson, Buchanan, Stroope, Sailer - we are singing at St. Peter’s at the Vatican, for official US July 4 celebrations in France, in the final concert of Australia’s national annual Choir Fest and in an Aboriginal community.
2018 takes us even further afield including Mexico, Vietnam and Cuba as well as closer to home in Canada and within the USA. Festivals include Craig Hella Johnson in the Sydney Opera House, Dilworth in Italy, Carrington back at home in London, Leck & Pedde in Montreal, Broeker in Austria, Wyatt in Spain, Stroope in Ireland and a Festival at the Vatican.
Be safe, see the world, make great music!
