Ex Cathedra founder Jeffrey Skidmore is picking up the baton to conduct the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir late this month (Bradshaw Hall, Thursday 29 October).

Jeffrey will lead the choir in a performance of John Joubert’s South Of The Line, a setting of Thomas Hardy’s anti-Boer War poems which was written for the opening of the city’s Adrian Boult Hall in 1985. 

The concert will also include a selection of other music, including four more works by Joubert. For further information and to book tickets, visit bcu.ac.uk/conservatoire.
