We’ve something utterly sublime to share today. Take a listen to some of Sanctus & Benedictus from William Byrd’s Mass for Five Voices performed by the incredible Gesualdo Six.

And, we are so very excited to be collaborating with them...

Most (72%) people with dyspraxia report high anxiety about falling – yet they’re not even mentioned in fall prevention guidelines.

Hallelujah! It’s a privilege to be part of the Foundling Museum’s latest exhibition, A Grand Chorus: The Power of Music. It explores the life-affirming power of music through Handel’s ‘Hallelujah Chorus’. Ben headed there today & our voices can be heard throughout the museum. Very special indeed 🎶❤️

Sound up for some truly beautiful music, as we count down to the Tuesday launch of our new course, The Wedding at Cana by Patrick Hawes.

One of the highlights is going to be learning its central movement, The Waters of Love. Patrick says it "reflects on the presence of the divine in human love".

Ooh - my new paper on case study is out! What’s a case study, how do you do one, how do you spot a good one? Includes niche examples like the REF impact case study (though it’s mainly about research case studies).
