Alongside the work taking place at Bletchley Park during WW2, the Bletchley Park Musical Society were ferocious in the number of performances and events they held. Driving the society’s operatic, orchestral, and choral performances was conductor, and composer Herbert Murrill, who worked as a Sergeant throughout the war decoding Japanese ciphers. After recently uncovering an archived collection of Murrill’s songs, baritone and conductor Crispin Lewis is initiating a project to publish, record commercially, and perform all of them. For the first time in 70 years, these songs will be gathered together and performed, in a recital exploring Murrill’s place in Bletchley’s vibrant musical life.
