I had the best time creating this piece with the 18-25 National Youth Choir! Look out for NMC Recordings’ album launch in January to hear it! (If you like yodelling and the Sound of Music, you’re in the right place 🙌🏼)
Ever heard someone try to yodel through a kazoo? @crystallalola follows her yodel-choral piece 'Little Ol' Lady Who' from workshop to recording. Keep watching for affectionate renditions from singers involving Beethoven and kazoos! Official recording out in Jan on @nmcrecordings
"I used to write pop songs at the piano, or musical concepts — I always had this big, grand storyline with every song that I wrote, and imagined this musical production that they would be a part of..." @crystallalola

New music alert 📣
Join us on Thursday 27 June at the @southbankcentre for our celebration of emerging talent, Debut Sounds: Sound in Motion. Featuring brand new compositions from the LPO's Young Composers and dance from postgraduate choreographers from @TrinityLaban 🤩
One of our absolutely favourite events in Spring is introducing the new NYC Composers (and Fellows) to the glamorous world of classical music publishing. Last week we loved meeting Áine, Crystalla, Cameron, Jamie, Adam & Daniel along with Creative Director, Lucy Hollins 🎼🍰😍
A couple of thoughts on using phones in concerts following @TheCBSO’s decision to encourage the audience to film clips and share them online - with the disclaimer I don’t think we all need to agree on this…!
Debut Sounds: Sound in Motion ➡ book now ✨
Our Debut Sounds concert showcases brand new work by our LPO Young Composers. This year we’re melding music and dance, with movement devised and performed by @TrinityLaban postgraduate choreographers 🎭
"I think every industry has its stereotypes, but clearly people do appreciate these crossovers. If you just remove all the rules, I think we all kind of like everything. But we’re told not to — we’re given a false image of something." ~ @crystallalola

Congratulations to our outgoing Magnum Opus composers @DanielSoley@crystallalola & @davidjohnroche on the premiere of their concertos written for @seanstshibe@EmmaSmith_Music & @ryanaccordion
What a fantastic end to a year of composing & workshopping alongside our players 👏🫶
A proud day as my first cohort of @BrittenSinfonia Magnum Opus composers graduate from the scheme with three fabulous concertos 🪗 🎤 🎸 It’s been the greatest pleasure working with these fantastic composers, sharing ideas and getting to know them https://t.co/asgKiQs0TX
