Unashamedly romantic with an expressive use of dissonance & sophisticated atmosphere: the music of the remarkably youthful Christopher Churcher from choir of Somerville College & Will Dawes on Resonus Classics. My review:

Mooooorning! Happy Friday Friends! Coming up @BBCRadio3 9.30: The Lezginka from Gayaneh to start, Uchida plays Mozart. Last track from Moonrise @cfchurcher & ‘Tiptoe to the Cookie 🍪 Jar’ by Florence Price in the Playlister
@MannGeorgia@BBCRadio3 Hellooo 👋 Coming out of a year-long Twitter hibernation just to say thank you so much, Georgia. Hearing Moonrise on your programme every morning has been AMAZING. If you played Pride Motets: I. My Love (my absolute favourite piece on the album) you would genuinely make my day 💛
We’re so close! We've got just £200 to go to hit our £5,000 goal for my debut disc with @SomervilleChoir (sounding heavenly at the moment!)🎶
Huge thanks to all who've supported so far 💛
If you can help us cross the finish line, I’d be beyond grateful!

@wicktrisha@holland_tom I spent my childhood watching the 1999 BBC Walking With Dinosaurs documentary (narrated by Ken Branagh – it was such a groundbreaking piece of television) and they've just released a second series 26 years later!!
(just started watching and it isn't good so far...)
A little snapshot from the wonderful evening of music making that is @JAMontheMarsh Music of Our Time!
Lovely to hear some stunning new works, JAM commissions old and new and gorgeous singing throughout from Selwyn College Chapel Choir directed beautifully by @seam100
🚨 For the past month I’ve been fundraising to raise £5,000 to record my debut album with @SomervilleChoir this summer, and we’re nearly at 2/3 of our goal! 🎶
If you’d like to support, every little helps, and we’re so close to smashing our target! 💙👇

Conductors, this is such a brilliant initiative — a smart and refreshing way to democratise access to top-tier ensembles for composers. More of this, please!
COMPOSERS! (Who write for voices)
For those of us still here, wading through the cesspit & trying to remain sane...
I'm trying something new in an attempt to make programming more transparent.

We're joining 1000+ musicians releasing this album to protest the UK government's planned changes to copyright law, which would hand the life's work of musicians to AI companies for free.
