CONVERGE CATCH CLUB

Unsure whether our new Converge Catch Club course is for you? Maybe you haven’t tried singing before and don’t know what to expect? Check out this feedback from some students that took part in our one off Catch Club Event at The Magic Hat Cafe last year!

There are lots of you out there working on powerful women, so why not join us in Adelaide to have a bit of a chat about them? There are even a handful of bursaries for PhDs and ECRs. Take a look...

This study shows that a greater display of passion while singing your national anthem can have a positive association with victory in some circumstances.

The 2024 election saw the worst Conservative defeat in history, producing their lowest number of seats, lowest vote share & highest number of ministers unseated.

I've been writing about the "crisis of Conservatism" for years, and have collected some key pieces below. ⬇️ [THREAD]

Honestly this has been more work than planning my wedding but it should be a great event. In person sold out but get in touch if you’d like to join on zoom.

Every year lots of families email us to enquire too late (often heart-breaking shortly after our auditions), and we have to break the news that they’ve missed the boat - help us to reach as many Oxford(shire) families as possible!

The premodern world held possibilities and imagined futures: the physical and metaphysical systems that were actively built and contested then continue to inform the world in the present.

@chilternrailway the 09:51 from Bicester North to London says ‘many seats’ on the app and yet when I arrive it is set down only? I do wish bank holidays had proper provision. I still need to go to work.

A few (belated) snaps from the @stileantico workshop @NorthumbriaUni - Stile and @ka_butler introduced a group of young singers and students to singing renaissance music in the small ensemble setting https://t.co/8v3kS5T3IO

@cuppa_coffee Same.

[Dr Katie Bank 🍍 @spparkle]

When you hear music in your mind/imagination, do you also feel it in your body? If so, where?

[Dr Katie Bank 🍍 @spparkle]

(should be ‘yearns’.)

[Dr Katie Bank 🍍 @spparkle]

It is almost like the words live in my head/mind/imagination, but the music lives elsewhere in my body…. is this… just me?
