Plans are almost in place to launch the Girl Choristers of the Cathedral Choir this summer. Some of those hoping to join are pictured here after they helped lead today's HM Courts of Justice Service. See https://t.co/60XDf1LKRx

I’m uncomfortable about Concert Series’, Festivals, Church Services etc being all-men-composer affairs. If you feel the same and find yourself at a Concert/Service/Event that only includes men composers, please

Does your church-choir/college/cathedral support gender-equality? £100 would see your organisation thanked in 4000 copies of our Anthology! Be bold: be like @JesCollChoir ! See https://t.co/6X7uz7nHGK. Kickstarter ends tonight but sponsorship can continue via Paypal/BACS.

Stop Press!! We have only 60 more copies of Vol. 1 - SATB Anthems - available at our special pre-order price of £13 per copy (UK only, plus p&p). Once these copies are sold orders can still be secured, at the rrp of £14.99 per copy. See https://t.co/6X7uz7nHGK for more details.

Projects such as this, supported by Knowledge Exchange Project Award form the Arts & Humanities Research Council, are hugely important for dispelling the myth that women's composition is a "modern phenomenon"!

Victorian music fans! @DrLSanderman has just completed a project to make the Complete Sacred Choral Music of Alice Mary Smith freely available in a set of scholarly editions and in a recording by the Eoferwic Consort. https://t.co/OMWSrJi6Wg

Women of all backgrounds wrote an enormous amount of sacred music in the 19th Century, but almost none of it is available in modern editions, or exists only in academic publications.

@TobyCharlesWard @MulofVoy @WATCH_ACT @churchofengland Hi Toby,

You might want to check out this article (and others on our site). In all Oxford colleges we surveyed last year only 2% of music was by female composers. Not sure what you would consider “unrepresented” in the face of these stats. https://t.co/LyWnJH966U

Music Festival 2019: 100% Men Composers; 0% Women Composers. 72 pieces of music at the Southern Cathedrals Festival, 18-21 July. All of them composed by Men Composers.

Representation matters. As a teenager, I knew I was a composer despite not knowing any other female composers. I was also gay but at the time barely saw any positive representation of LGBT people in the media (rather than characters, which I felt so lucky even existed).
