Psappha has made the very difficult decision to close. Thread ↓ (1/5)

[Psappha @PsapphaEnsemble]

We’re committed to completing our current Composing For… scheme as planned, after which we will wind down the charity. This will take some time, and we will continue to be available for any questions or enquiries until we close around the end of this summer. (4/5)
