The thing that has most occupied me in the month of February 2017 is getting ready for the annual concert of our 24-strong local gospel choir, Gospel Bridge Hombrechtikon.

The picture above was taken at the concert in Hombrechtikon’s spacious catholic church on Sunday 12th February. I am conducting the choir in You are Alpha and Omega, a song which I heard on a visit to Congo in 2015, and which I arranged for our choir.

For all the rest of the pieces in the concert I either sang or played the piano. One of the best-known songs that we sang was the Celtic-style ballad You Raise Me Up.

We may not be the most accomplished choir in Switzerland, but we certainly enjoy singing together, and this year’s concert was well received.
