I'm very excited to be spending next week in Chichester participating in the Girton Conducting Course! There's some great repertoire on the menu, including Brahms 4 and Copland's Appalachian Spring (chamber version).

On Tuesday July 1st I have two pieces being performed by the Loveday Singers, 'In Flanders Fields' and 'The Key To Change'. If you are around Woking or can get there easily I thoroughly recommend you check out the concert, they are a superb choir!

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.
