So proud to have sustained, even built up, this great festival in its 7th decade. So gutting to see it wither so quickly in its 8th. There is so much care and love for it, and all it stands for. Tragically, very little of this resides in the current board and senior management.

Thanks to @Steven_Berryman for the lovely sentiments! 2 student premieres in one concert: one for orchestra and an ensemble piece full of metre changes and extended techniques. I’ve been blessed with many great students in my time @ForestSchMusic – at Ilford, London
Congratulations @ForestSchMusic on a stellar concert; a remarkable achievement to include so much variety and showcase so much talent. Particular highlights were @BloomDarren contemporary ensemble (not to mention two world premieres in the concert!).
That’s a wrap! It’s been a wonderful journey working on this great music with the very best musicians over the last few weeks! – at Ilford, London

Violin superman @MorganDarragh demoing gorgeous Sciarrino for our @junior_trinity composers at the start of a term-long project with the @Ldn_Sinfonietta today! Amazing fluting from @siriuschauflute & fiery cello from our very own @Tom_Shelley90 Life affirming #newmusic
Former @junior_trinity composer, the wonderful Rufus Isabel Elliot, came to @TrinityLaban to talk with our current students about all things composition, including a very personal approach to microtonal harmony. Lucky us! – at Ilford, London
