Here we are again…Wednesday’s picture of the week! Below is the Coro Pro Femina with Richard Leslie performing at the Concert Pro Femina in the 2011 Festival. They peformed a Gloria from the thirteenth century, arranged by Ruth Still.

Here, Richard is playing the trumpet, but he is also an active singer.
