Ave Maria - Original Composition, Live in Newcastle, February 2026, Alternative Angle.

An alternative angle of the performance of my Ave Maria from my recent recital, kindly provided by Kathleen from my wonderful female voice choir The Gibside Singers! Very happy this was taken as my camera placement for the others wasn't the best! I had the absolute pleasure of being joined by incredible solo soprano Chloe Marie Hill for part of this recital and she did me the amazing honour of giving the Newcastle/North East premiere of two of my vocal works! I've been wanting to perform these up here for a couple of years now so finally getting to is a dream! The second piece of these two is my setting of the Ave Maria, which I wrote a few years back and like 'Remember Me' premiered with my long time friend and collaborator Alison Benz in 2023. I've always been really proud of how this one turned out and getting to perform it again for the first time in so long was fantastic! Many thanks again to Chloe for all her hard work learning both pieces and performing them so stunningly! Soprano - Chloe Marie Hill Piano - Declan Flannery I hope you enjoy!
