Wonderful composer and such a lovely man.

This morning I’m trying to work out how I’ve become the proud father of a ten-year-old who was only born last Wednesday

Captivated by new The King's Singers album 'Wonderland', especially Judith Bingham's 'Tricksters' and the Ligeti Nonsense Madrigals. Refreshing, funny, spiky throughout. Best disc of choral(ish) singing and repertoire I've heard in a long time.

Introducing New Music at St Paul's, a week-long festival of music by living composers, with premieres of works by Cheryl Frances-Hoad, Kristina Arakelyan, Ben Ponniah and Anna Semple.
Join us from 15th to 22nd October.

A very happy 80th birthday today to our beloved Organist Emeritus, Dr Philip Moore.

We are very much looking forward to publishing Elizabeth Poston's multi-part work An English Day-Book, commissioned and conceived as a 'mirror' to Britten's Ceremony of Carols. NYCOS recorded this work several years ago but the sheet-music is only now being prepared for…

A warm welcome to our extremely talented new Choir of Westminster Abbey organ scholar, Carolyn Craig! Wishing her a very happy, inspiring and rewarding year here Westminster Abbey

Managed to stay composed for a few minutes. After that, shattering: particularly the massive choral 3rd movement and the infinitely mournful bass (and cor anglais) finale.

But that's stunning!

2/2...Cheryl Frances-Hoad. Sensational playing from George Herbert as always. Thank you to the superb singers, instrumentalists & composers, colleagues St John's College, Cambridge & SJCS Cambridge, the great recording team incl. Chris Hazell, Simon Eadon, Dave Rowell & Matthew Bennett. What a project!

I had forgotten just what an extraordinary achievement this CD is. Music of the utmost genius & difficulty performed with such feeling & blinding skill, particularly the delightful PT, forever my Senior Organ Scholar! Andrew Nethsingha thank you for taking us on this great journey.

We are so grateful to Richard Jeffrey-Gray of Hoxa for his great skill in restoring a boxful of tapes of Elizabeth Poston's music dating from the 1940s-1970s, on several of which, as here, she is playing. Hearing a composer play their own music is very special!…

Thank you to jack liebeck for including me in the fantastic Australian Festival of Chamber Music (AFCM). Thank you also to the musicians who gave such wonderful performances of my works - pics below of the premiere of 'Crescent', for trumpet, viola and piano, with Joseph Havlat and David Elton.

Having played and loved Michael Berkeley’s Clarinet Concerto in the ‘90s, I’m thrilled to be involved in this ‘23 Presteigne Festival | Gŵyl Llanandras premiere, in celebration of a
milestone birthday year!

We are hugely grateful to the brilliant Richard Jeffrey-Gray of Hoxa who is working miracles retrieving recitals and broadcasts from recently-rediscovered reel to reel tapes of unpublished works by Elizabeth Poston. So much to reveal; more updates soon!
