Had the most amazing trip to Rome to film Vespers at Domus Australia, presided over by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, to mark the Feast of the Holy Rosary. It was such a great honour to meet the Holy Father and receive the Papal Blessing. Immense thanks to for giving me this opportunity — looking forward to future visits!

So excited to share this!
The first-ever music video from Westminster Cathedral Choir — and what a piece to begin with: Loquebantur variis linguis ("They spoke in many tongues") by Thomas Tallis (c.1505–1585).

An incredible privilege to film one of the world’s finest choirs — and to shoot alongside the brilliant (best DOPs in my phonebook).
