We are sad to learn of the death of British composer @JamesWhitbourn today. We recorded his debut album ‘a finer truth’ & premiered his large-scale ‘Annelies’ based on the diaries of Anne Frank, which went on to receive many performances worldwide.
RIP James Whitbourn, 1963-2024
Wise and brave words about ENO from Sir Richard Mantle at the end of tonight’s opening night of La rondine at Opera North. Take note @DCMS@ace_national

Fascinating and inspiring to talk about this with two professionals I admire hugely in @csprice and @neetsoprano who radiate good sense, wisdom, and perspective. Have a listen!
In awe of @ANethsingha’s utterly assured, beautifully paced, and deeply musical leadership of the coronation service - liturgical music-making of the highest order. Simply extraordinary.
Congratulations to all the musicians in today's #Coronation service and parade - composers, conductors, soloists, choirs, instrumentalists - an amazing showcase of talent. Bravo to @ANethsingha for holding everything together, & to the @mco_london for wonderful Bach at 9am!
A stunning performance from @BBCSingers with @SirSimonRattle of Poulenc Figure Humaine and impassioned speech from SSR. Barbican audience on their feet…
