We'll be in Glasgow during the United Nations Climate Change Conference (Cop26) to take part in @BBCRadio3 New Music Show, joining Xenia Pestova-Bennett in her Atomic Legacies, and performing John Luther Adams's The Wind in High Places. Performing Nov 5, broadcast Nov 6!

Maybe classical music wouldn't be "dead" if we put half as much energy into support living composers as we do MoZaRt or BeEtHoVeN

Naming my next composition "Beethoven's 10th symphony" to ensure that it gets a lot of coverage and programming

Playwriting note 22: a new character entering should be like someone stepping in to a dingy - everyone in the dingy has to reposition themselves to find a new balance or they’ll capsize. The action of the scene is the negotiation of that repositioning. Same for an exit.

Can someone explain to me the practice of opera using manipulated stock photos of random people to advertise operas? I honestly don’t get it. Imagine seeing a poster for an upcoming film starring ______ and the image is some entirely random shutterstock model? 🤔

Current listening to @beverleywang interviewing @lesleychowstory on #stopeverything #abcrn about the mouthfeel of singing. Not what is sung, but HOW it is sung. Her language is going to be so useful in the discussion of opera. #requiredreading

"A pure hit of prose pleasure. The writing embodies the polemic, at a time when music criticism has never been so virtuous and so inattentive to the bliss that is pop’s greatest gift" 🎸✨

@_RaniaGold_ Always the first question after availability. Because interest in new music is critical to the care they will take with our composers. #newopera #operafutures

What a brilliant idea! Might take this up

each day in lockdown doing a long walk and listening to the major works of a famous musician that i never really got into but is canon... today Prince. Tomorrow Fiona apple. Wednesday Dylan. Any other suggestions?

thinking of writing a singable translation of “The Magic Flute” that highlights how much of a dick Sarastro is:

I will take any opportunity to bring up Covid vaccination in clinical consults and general conversation and in the last few weeks, I’ve spoken to a lot of people who are vaccine hesitant. These are some of the common fears people have, and these are my responses 🧵

@HeatherParryUK I only wish I could draw my boundaries as well as an 8 year old

final proof that quarantine has driven me over the edge:

the idea has come to me, unbidden, of a Great British Baking Show composing spinoff. “Composers, the judges would love you to write three…buttery…CHACONNES.”

An incredibly articulate and estute Allen Christensen explains how systemic racism. Indigenois people and people of colour do not have the luxury to separate politics and and their lives.

It’s been a long 5 weeks under lockdown for many Victorians and there’s still a long way to go. During this time #abc730 captured images that show how much life in Melb & parts of Vic changed. George Stirling, @AustBoysChoir, sings Meet Me In The Middle Of The Air @Chris_Gillett_
