You are so right Anna. My four children, two of each, have all been choristers. It’s invaluable training for life: they agree. If being part of a team is good enough for sport, so it is for singing and music generally.

The idea that choristerships are damaging to children is deeply upsetting. In the 5 months since starting the Girls’ choir, I’ve seen shy girls come out of their shell, nervous girls delight at singing solos, & distracted girls gain focus, all with a smile. An education.

Never been here in #Rutland when the wisteria is looking its most lovely. The emerging colours in the garden, along with #Bach , are lifting the spirit.

Wonderful to see and hear. It provides a glimmer of hope in difficult times for children and music education. Bravo to all who clearly worked magic to make this happen and to the indefatigable @Paul_McCreesh

Ely Cathedral yesterday evening. Over 200 state school children singing Gerontius with @GabrieliCandP Roar and @Paul_McCreesh = the culture of the possible.

It’s astonishing, isn’t it? But alas, most would be unaware and ‘surprised’ at this given the lamentable state of arts education in schools. If things will ever change, it’s feeding the roots as we all know. Feeling increasingly pessimistic about this-and I’m an optimist!!!

Arts Council England spends less than an eighth of the French culture budget. Are we OK with that?

About to play P&F #Bach : it’s the 32nd in the order I’m playing them all & in 1st set. It’s a lament and fitting to dedicate it to my friend and colleague for many years, Tim Pride who died suddenly two days ago. A loyal, dedicated lay-clerk @WinCathedral @SJCChoir RIP dear man.

Let’s put this straight, the homophobia shown against @kingssingers was @pensacola #Christian #College who have welcomed the group previously. This is all down to the #GOP @realDonaldTrump and his associates @GovRonDeSantis who are behind this type of affront on human rights.

A comment I made re.musicians becoming taxi drivers instead has been misconstrued. I doubt I could have passed ‘the knowledge’. #Respect - it takes years. And so it does to become a #musician to create the music many drivers want to hear! We need both! @letmusicliveuk

Today begins a #Warlock project, recording solo vocal and choral music and his orchestral music with @BBCSingers & @BBCCO . A mercurial composer who was supremely talented.

I wondered why I slept more intermittently and realise it’s the anticipation of making music once again, live tonight! The first gig in 8 months. So pleased to be joining @BSOrchestra for #Bach #Ives #Mahler #Beethoven . Watch . @RayfieldAllied
