Our musical extravaganza O Vozes do Mar - voices of the sea - took place this Sunday at the Forte d’Alberquel with children and young musicians of many backgrounds, abilities and talents - and with the hugest hearts ❤️
Thank you to all involved 🐬🐋🐳

Just read #TheLightlessSky by @gulwalipassarlay - a devastating, inspiring and stunning account of his journey as a young boy from Afghanistan to the UK. Heartbroken for those risking their lives to seek safety and even more for a system that allows such cruelty to be legal.

[Gulwali Passarlay 🧡 @GulwaliP]

I am lost for words. This gov lacks compassion and empathy. They are anti refugees and humanitarian values. Don’t give a dam about human rights & refugee laws.There are far too many hostile laws, policies of the U.K. keeping people seeking asylum in limbo & danger. We need action

[Merit Ariane @MeritAriane]

YES!!! Congratulations @RoxannaPanufnik @jessicaduchen @KTGillingham @natashakhamjani and all everyone involved! So grateful to have been a part of this beautiful and inspiring venture. 🌟

Exiting final rehearsals at High Wycombe before we move to the stage at @GarsingtonOpera ! Amazing work from everyone, especially Adrianna from @SCHSgdst as #Dalia @RoxannaPanufnik @jessicaduchen 😍

[SCHS Music @MusicSCHS]

Brilliant Adrianna in rehearsals for ‘Dalia’ by @RoxannaPanufnik @GarsingtonOpera - such a brilliant concept with libretto by @jessicaduchen - music is very moving. Here with her stage mum, my old pal @MeritAriane Can’t wait for the show! #godalia @SCHSgdst @SineMetuSCHS

[Merit Ariane @MeritAriane]

@_Joglaresa What desperately sad news. Many moons ago I was on tour with Belinda and Joglaresa. She was - and remains- a force of nature and an inspirational woman in the music industry. What a fighter. How many lives - on and off stage-did her music and spirit touch and transform!? 💔

[Jessica Duchen ✍️🎶 @jessicaduchen]

Thrilled to reveal our cast for #Dalia, the new People's Opera that @RoxannaPanufnik & I have written for @GarsingtonOpera. Our stars are: @NadinBenjamin, @JonathanLemalu, @MeritAriane, @APWSinger & @ed_lyon! Wonderful @dougieboyd conducts @philharmonia
