I am looking forward to another concert featuring female composers.

[Maidstone and Medway Sinfonia @MMS10173]

Exciting rehearsal yesterday:
First play through of Ruth Gipps 'Variations on a Theme by Byrd', probably the first time it has been played since 1942.
It will be its 1st performance since '42 at our next concert.

@BLMedieval We visited this exhibition last week. It was fascinating

Saw this at the British Library yesterday

[Medieval Manuscripts @BLMedieval]

One of the most poignant medieval documents was written on this day in 1429.

Written by Joan of Arc, it requested gunpowder from the citizens of Riom to support her military campaigns.

And at the end, for the first time, Joan signed her own name.

Afghan women are responding to the Taliban’s restrictions by dancing in traditional attire, a powerful expression of their identity and defiance against oppression.

I had a part in creating our scarecrow. I thought a mouse peeping out of his pocket would be in keeping, but only had a fledermaus. So he has a bat-on

The Mayor of Maidstone was very taken with our 'guest' conductor at the Scarecrow Competition in St Martin's Church, Maidstone

[Ann Bodimeade 💙 @ann_bodimeade]

@MMS10173 I wonder how many of the orchestra noticed the change of conductor
