Mega-niche programming shout-out: early Baroque-ish Christmassy things for not more than SSATB (or SSATTB at a pinch) plus instruments (quartet) which involve, or /could/ involve recorders? I have the Messe de Minuit, obviously...

Cue the Artist formerly known as Prince jokes. Well, it's almost a anagram of Artist...

British Airways and Heathrow. The usual toxic combination. Pointless and irritating delays for no good reason beyond general sloppiness in every direction.

Lovely to be back in Galway today for the first time since 2013, when I conducted a glorious little production of Così for OTC. Today has started with a run, a swim, and excellent coffee. Now looking forward to sightseeing and a concert tonight at St Nicholas' Church! stnicholas.ie/event/music-...

Really looking forward to tomorrow night's crazy @londiniumchoir.bsky.social Bosch extravaganza. Our fabulous programme booklet is now online for a little light reading... I may have got a bit carried away! www.londinium-voices.org.uk/programme

So apparently the orange horror is about to announce a 'cure' for autism.

I cannot adequately articulate how offensive this is to anyone with first-hand experience of ASD.

Quite proud of this programming - come and see how it all works!
Our seductive Bosch-themed concert with @colla-voce.bsky.social is on Friday 10 October! Wonderful music including James MacMillan, Thea Musgrave, John Joubert, Anselm McDonnell, Agneta Sköld, Pizzetti, Cardoso, Vivanco and much else! Tx www.londinium-voices.org.uk/events

Hasn't aged me a day...
We’ve enjoyed a suitably bonkers weekend at Oude Muziek Festival Utrecht so far, singing five concerts between 7am and 9pm on Saturday, and an afternoon performance yesterday - which marked @colla-voce.bsky.social’s 500th concert with the group! 🎉

Rather wonderful to be preparing some music by Britten (getting ahead for Autumn concerts) while staying in Britten's old boarding house at Gresham's School. I wonder which room was his?
August 6, 2025 at 5:48 PM
Very happy to be heading to Gresham's today for the second instalment of the Music Summer School and Festival! I'll be conducting Israel in Egypt — and in my preparation I may have got a bit too interested in exactly which bits are borrowed from whom...

Few things beat a really good coffee after a couple of hours riding around the Kent lanes.

Another programming question: a cappella choral works about the Creation which are NOT by Copland?
