Birthday anniversaries of composer George Frideric Handel (1685), tenor André D’Arkor (1901) and soprano Ilse Hollweg (1922).

Happy birthday to the passionate and prolific Callum Blackmore!

Any old palace

After midnight

A certain theatrical precision

In my very own private hell

Love for sail

The Zoom Generation

Unashamedly dark

Times after times

The mélodie lingers on

By the beautiful sea

The cher public are invited to share YouTube videos and/or reminiscences of La Crespin.
