Huge thanks to Sir John Rutter (@johnmrutter) for conducting this beautiful performance of one my tunes (published by OUP/@OUPMusic)! And thank you to Cambridge Singers and the @royalphilorch for gorgeous singing and playing. Looking forward to the album!

Out today! The second single from A Cambridge Christmas is Matthew Owens’ arrangement of The Holly and the Ivy. Listen out for the woodwind dancing merrily above the melody – like little Christmas elves!

For me, Choral Evensong is one of the crowning inventions of the Anglican Church, and one of the best free musical experiences to be had in this country. JR https://t.co/iy61w3gPIl

This is a heartwarming, personal piece by the great @johnmrutter in the @Telegraph, reflecting on the centenary of the BBC's first broadcast of Choral Evensong: https://t.co/is74596lWU

'Words and music combine to create an experience that has been described as balm for the soul, a finger pointing heavenwards, an oasis of light in a dark world'

The BBC first broadcast Choral Evensong on 7 October 1926 in a service live from Westminster Abbey. On the exact date of the 100th anniversary, the programme returns to the Abbey this afternoon for a celebratory service to mark the occasion.

Ahead of the service, composer Sir John Rutter reflects on the enduring appeal of the BBC's longest-running outside broadcast: https://t.co/oIi91wn1Aa

If anyone loves singing and John Rutter’s works, and you can attend one of these singing days, do so. I had the absolute best time last week

[John Rutter @johnmrutter]

Thank you @Spotify for adding 'Was I the lamb?' to the New Classical playlist: https://t.co/ssyC7fUdfV

[John Rutter @johnmrutter]

Here’s a little something from my new album. I composed "Was I the lamb?" for @MertonCollChoir. The carol having received an Oxford performance, I thought it only fair that it should receive a Cambridge recording. Here it's sung by The Cambridge Singers: https://t.co/2SHoG4E83W

[Matthew Owens @MatthewOwensUK]

I’m delighted and rather humbled that my carol, ‘The Holly and the ivy’ (published by @OUPMusic) is included in @johnmrutter’s latest Christmas album with the Cambridge Singers/@royalphilorch, to be released soon: https://t.co/gzLuMugc1p

What a wonderful weekend at the @charleswoodFestival in Armagh.
A highlight was the unveiling of a beautiful new bust of Charles Wood, sculpted by Naomi Sander of Studio Sander and Sander — a lasting tribute marking 100 years since Wood's death and celebrating his musical legacy.
