Super proud of my Dark Sky Voices who performed a fabulous set @mcrchoralcomp yesterday on stage at Royal Northern College of Music! What a treat to accompany them on the Steinway grand for our rendition of Amazing Grace. Congratulations to all 18 choirs involved. Fabulous day!

So sad I missed this performance yesterday @mcrchoralcomp Thank you Harmonia for choosing one of my pieces!

Hello again Twitter world! These three very different arrangements for Upper Voice choir have just become available to download from my website. All 2-part and created specially with schools in mind...ideal for concerts! #traditional #Christmascarol #holocaustmemorialday

@BenSeeSings @ChantageUK wow! what a piece...congratulations to all involved. Loved listening to this!

🎈🌳 HUGE thanks to the mighty @ChantageUK for performing my song ‘Balloon Tree’ in their concert last year. They sing the socks off it! The improvised elements are exquisite and the whole performance has so much space and breath. It is a total thrill! m.youtube.com/watch?v=XU3xVT…

#Strictly is all about dancing right?? Hell no...those Ballroom dances are really fun to SING too! 🎹🎤❤️ @ClaudiaWinkle @bbcstrictly youtu.be/92QKFJxW_nQ?si…

Happy New Score day! 😃 Just completed another new choral setting of the beautiful poetry of @CGRossettiMusic A short 3 minute piece with scrummy close harmonies...lovely opportunity for alto soloist too! Head over to my website to hear it...🎶🎶

This week I visited Lanercost Priory and Church for the very first time AND discovered Birdoswald Roman Fort on the way home 😍 A fine day out. Highly recommend! Only lived here for 50+ years!!!!

@glasshouseicm @bbcproms It was an honour to be a very small part of such a magical evening! 😉

Day 1 of @bbcproms at The Glasshouse 💫 Fantastic to have the Proms back in the North East for another weekend filled to the brim with music and celebrations. Last night, Chorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia kicked things off with a pre-concert performance on the Concourse

@elizabethalker @bbcproms @glasshouseicm @RNSinfonia @dinispsousa @BBCRadio3 it was an exceptional performance by Alena Baeva and the RNS. Might just have to tune in and listen to it all again!

I so ❤️ the @bbcproms at the @glasshouseicm in Gateshead. My third year and it keeps getting better and better. Last night’s stunning concert with @RNSinfonia + @dinispsousa broadcasts today on @BBCRadio3 at 4:15 plus plenty still to come all weekend… bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Loved being part of last nights @bbcproms @glasshouseicm. Stunning performances by Alena Baeva & @RNSinfonia and the wonderful Chorus of RoyalNorthernSinfonia who sang 'One Foot on Sea and One on Shore' beautifully to a very big crowd in the concourse beforehand! BRAVO 👍👍👍

@Will_Todd_Music @BBCRadio3 @PetrocTrelawny I agree, it's been a wonderful week to wake up to!

this week has been full so many breakfast treats thanks to @BBCRadio3 Mike Tickell @kathryntickell The Silver Swan @durhamcathchoir and now Jack Brymer, who was a huge inspiration to me as a teenage clarinettist! Looking forward to my first @bbcproms tonight!

Getting stuck back into some serious composing now the holidays have kicked in. 😀More time to think, create and experiment! Hoping to complete another beautiful setting of @CGRossettiMusic for SATB Choir!

Loving the breakfast show this week with @PetrocTrelawny on @BBCRadio3 from our very own North East! Hearing the Silver Swan took me back to my school days singing madrigals in #Hexham. Here's my own setting of the text sung by Coquetdale Chamber Choir! soundcloud.com/fiona-lander-c…

@ClareFOliver @RNSinfonia @CGRossettiMusic @glasshouseicm @bbcproms Thank you!

@FionaComposer @RNSinfonia @CGRossettiMusic @glasshouseicm @bbcproms That’s amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

just found out the Chorus of @RNSinfonia will be performing one of my choral settings by @CGRossettiMusic next Friday evening @glasshouseicm as part of @bbcproms 2024! How exciting! 😃

To hear which song, pop along to the Concourse at 7pm...no ticket required!
