Interesting to note Sir Keir Starmer attaching his colours to the mast - by means of Velcro - in relation to independent schools’ charitable status.

Totally in shock at the @BBCSingers closure. The UK no longer has a radio choir. This choir is a necessary force for good. All the repertoire they champion that others don’t: their commitment to female composers, all the interesting secular music. I lost count of the times I’ve

Today is Ash Wednesday.

If you're weary of the usual tune, here's an alternative for organists to use at tonight's service.

My wife is looking for a new teaching position & highlighted this...
'You will have to live and breathe the school, and be wedded to it. It may dominate your life' 😲
This. is. not. healthy.

Today I had the privilege of conducting the inaugural recording of my @RSCMCentre coronation anthem. I was also given an inflatable crown. It’s been a good day. #singfortheking #coronationanthem #KingCharlesIII #choirs #choralmusic #choralcomposer

What another terrible weak and inward-looking decision from the House of Bishops. More concerned with internal church politics than justice and mission. https://t.co/E3UMn6SCS0

One (very fine and well resourced) #Oxbridge college had 0.5 applications per place for #Music this year.
Am I alone in finding this utterly terrifying?

@ANethsingha @SJCChoir All the very best!

1/3 Today is my 34th & final @stjohnscam Advent Carol Service, before hanging on the baton to the wonderful Christopher Gray. Very happy memories of all the amazing singers & organists I’ve worked with here @SJCChoir @SJCS_Cambridge. Thank you all! It’s on @BBCRadio3 at 3pm.

@ANethsingha @SJCChoir As George himself was fond of quoting, “A thousand ages in Thy sight are but as yesterday…” An enduring influence on so many of us.

[Andrew Nethsingha @ANethsingha]

Thinking of the great GEORGE GUEST. Today is the 20th anniversary of his death. One of the finest British choir-trainers of the last century; a man of incomparable influence on @SJCChoir, even today. Teacher, mentor & inspiration to so many. Thank you for everything, George. RIP

[St John's College Choir @SJCChoir]

Where has the verb “to coronate” sprung from?
