For US friends, I'm delighted that my choral piece THE FLIGHT, commissioned by Stephen Cleobury & @ChoirOfKingsCam in 2015, with text by @george_szirtes , is being performed by @seraphicfire , cond. @atrecekking on tour in Florida
Tonight & tomorrow at @Catz_Cambridge, Edward Wickham and his chapel choir will perform THE FLIGHT (2015). The poem was specially written by George Szirtes in response to the Syrian refugee crisis that was unfolding at the time. Thank you to the choir for performing this piece!
Congratulations to all @nonclassical on what was a fabulous 20th anniversary concert @HackneyEmpire last night! Congratulations especially to @gprokofiev @londonsymphony @BloomDarren @matthewherbert and all the composers! 👏👏👏

Today’s the day! Wishing @MatthewOwensUK and @ulsterconsort every piece of good luck for their concert today with ten brand new choral works, including the première of my piece COLLECT. So sorry I can’t be there!
Thrilled to be conducting @ulsterconsort in TEN WORLD PREMIERES including the new Master of the King's Music, @ErrollynWallen (details below).
Join us on Friday 11 October in St Molua's Church, Stormont, Belfast from 6-7pm. Tickets at the door or in advance via Eventbrite.
Later this week, a première of a short choral piece I have composed for @ulsterconsort is happening on Friday 11th October at Stormont, Belfast. Many thanks to @MatthewOwensUK who will be conducting and who had the wonderful idea to commission The Cranmer Anthem Book.
Next week, the brilliant @_Octandre_ performs my piece PHOENIX alongside works by Saariaho, Christian Mason and Messiaen at the @LtMsdnFest. I’m very much looking forward to it - come along if you’re nearby!
Just 4 weeks to go before this year's festival. Full programme and link for tickets at little-missenden.org/
Only a few seats available for some concerts!
For Italian friends, I’m being interviewed tonight by @urteilskraft71 about the late great Alexander Goehr on @Radio3tweet after the Last Night of the Proms (approx 23.20 Italian time). In memory of Sandy, and to steady my nerves, I will have a whisky in my hand…
Always a trailblazer…huge congratulations to my dear friend @ErrollynWallen on her appointment as Master of the King’s Music and what an inspiration for all who have come after her at @Kings_College and @CamUniMusic!

We cut arts funding but spent £4m on each Olympic medal. Is that fair?

This week’s lines…(baritone songs) ends today after 6 months and after 3 years (2019-22) highlighting soprano songs. Signing out on this cycle, hailed a masterpiece in Gramophone, let’s hope that one day it gets a second performance.
This week’s lines…

This is so disgusting. Imagine the mindset that made this. People are dying. Afraid. Exploited and desperate. The Tories now chasing Reform to the very hard right and it’s sickening. Just when you think they couldn’t sink any lower …
How is this balanced reporting @BBCRadio4 ?
