Last night we spent a magical evening in wonderful company! 🎶✨
Thank you to our singers, our friends @BBCO, conductor @owainpark and presenter & singer @clareteal for a night of show songs and festive cheer! 🎄
📻 Listen on @BBCRadio3 and @BBCSounds on 22 December.
I'm sad to say that I'm leaving my current role with the @BBCSingers. Here's the job (full-time, permanent), so get applying! I am very happy to field questions from anyone interested. https://t.co/fv2SeISL71
In @CommonsCMS I asked the Chief Content Officer at the BBC, Charlotte Moore, to address rumours that the proposed cuts to BBC Orchestras and Singers will only be suspended until after the Proms.
Her response: "This is wrong, this is all about us trying to find a new model."
It was a joy to perform with Principal Guest Conductor @owainpark at @StJohnsCath_Nrw with saxophonist @CForshaw_Sax to a sold out @NNFest audience in May.
🎶 Here's Tallis' Te Lucis ante terminum from rehearsal.
📻 You can hear the concert on @BBCRadio3 at 7.30pm tomorrow.

Who is the woman commentator, I think called Lucy, on ITV? She just said "This can’t not mean something, but I’m still pondering what that is," and I think that about sums it up
If you are in London this weekend, be sure to check out @SaariahoKaija events at @BarbicanCentre on Sunday 7 May, including a performance by @BBCSingers 🎶
