I'm so thrilled with this collaboration. Premiere recordings of both quartets. In the CD notes, I wrote: 'This programme brings together two quartets that represent the start and end of their respective careers – a passing on of the musical baton'. A piece of our history.

Congratulations to RCM Violin professor @MadeleineM_Vln on the release of 'Howells & Wood: Quartets' with @SOMMRecordings. This exciting new album features premiere recordings of early 20th century English string music by Herbert Howells and his RCM teacher Charles Wood.

Really looking forward to this. #GustavHolst150’s socialism is one of the things which daughter Imogen got wrong in her biographies. The minutes of the Hammersmith Socialist Society show his involvement and that of his future wife Isobel and her brother and Gustav’s friend Harry.
Keir Hardie Society@KeirHardieSoc

Gustav Holst's The Planets is one of the best-known pieces of classical music written by a British composer. However, its meaning is less well-known and Holst was a passionate socialist. Come and hear composer Ben Lunn talk about Gustav Holst's life and work, in person or online.

A reminder that we are now selling lovely printed octavos of works by Ethel Smyth, Elizabeth Poston and Elizabeth Maconchy, on high-quality, durable 'Conqueror' music paper at B5 and A4 size.
Multitude of Voyces@Multitudeofvoyc

We are delighted that supporters are ordering our 'zoomed' copies (A4 booklets) on the lovely Conqueror 'music' paper we have invested in. 'Zoomed' copies are an excellent option for those with some neuro-diversities or who require a larger score due to low-lighting, ageing eyesight and who (like us!) want plenty of space to annotate the score in our own way so we can sing our best! The Smyth Partsongs are a bargain at £1.99 each with discounts available for bulk purchases.
