Lovely review of our opera! “Seta White’s merited revival of Haro Stepanian’s musically inventive fairytale satire, unseen since 1935” ⁦ https://t.co/3YChWHJ4y6

”Mistress, dangerous enchantress
That caged thyself when thou caged me,
Let me sing my mournful song:
Thou wilt not be free as long
As I am held by thee.”

Many generous patrons bought a bar of our first opera on @kickstarter. Now I’ve found a way to send it to them.

Concert programmers: 'women composers' is not really a theme. There are 1000s of us and we have written music about everything from war to sex to sci-fi to anthropomorphised teapots (probably). You'll find it easier to find, fit & sell our music using thematic programming 🙏🏆

We’ve had a lot of important chats about harassment in opera since #metoo but we want to do more than talk. Book for Sunday's workshop with @rachel_vogler of @HouselightsOrg and make sure you're informed for yourself and to support others 💪🏾 https://t.co/y4sSa6DKIq

This week, I will be mostly trying to experience #NYC like Lou Reed

Imogen Holst brought so much to my local community in Suffolk, UK. She conducted the local choir and brass band that are still going. I think today composers can apply for writing time in her modest, modernist house in aldeburgh.

[Cevanne @CevanneMusic]

Thrilled!

This could be useful... ;)
