So proud to have sustained, even built up, this great festival in its 7th decade. So gutting to see it wither so quickly in its 8th. There is so much care and love for it, and all it stands for. Tragically, very little of this resides in the current board and senior management.

Thanks to @Steven_Berryman for the lovely sentiments! 2 student premieres in one concert: one for orchestra and an ensemble piece full of metre changes and extended techniques. I’ve been blessed with many great students in my time @ForestSchMusic

[Dr Steven Berryman @Steven_Berryman]

Congratulations @ForestSchMusic on a stellar concert; a remarkable achievement to include so much variety and showcase so much talent. Particular highlights were @BloomDarren contemporary ensemble (not to mention two world premieres in the concert!).

[Darren Bloom @BloomDarren]

@Steven_Berryman @ForestSchMusic That’s so nice of you! Yes, they are a spectacular bunch. Sorry we didn’t get to say hi after!

@susannaeastburn @Emmatr0n According to my mountaineering step dad, if you see those when at high altitudes it’s time to set up shelter!

[Darren Bloom @BloomDarren]

That’s a wrap! It’s been a wonderful journey working on this great music with the very best musicians over the last few weeks!
