England Sings At the ACDA conference in New York, we were set a task to come up with a tour for a high school madrigal group with "sizzling" ideas for concerts. We kept the itinerary to the south of England. This way there is a minimun of travel; there are so many top class places to perform in that region that there is no need to go further. The itinerary is also very flexible in that we could easily incorporate a concert or service at, say, Winchester Cathedral instead of Salisbury should the group prefer that.
