It’s always exciting when a new disc arrives in the post, but this is different - music hardly anyone has heard by one of England’s most loved composers. Huge thanks to @ChandosRecords @mozartplayers @thechoir @sfoxyladyFOX @spconnolly @DavidButtPhilip @JamesOrford et al.! #parry
SINGING TEACHERS! I’m asked regularly by members of @DulwichChoral to recommend singing teachers in SE London, especially who are happy to teach in the evening/weekends. Please let me know if you have any names I can add to our recommendations list. Websites useful. Thanks!
In Oxford - and it’s a sunny afternoon! - for @OxfordSong TONIGHT with @kittywhately at @TrinityOxford, including my favourite song of the moment, Tiger Tiger by #RebeccaClarke (and obviously the brilliant #WilliamBlake). oxfordsong.org/events/kitty-…
