@cadoganhall @CityLdnSinfonia @dmahoneymusic Then in June we’re *super-excited* to be working with @RussHepplewhite on his #LivingVoices project: 10 specially commissioned new poems set to music. We’ll be giving the world première of his setting of Gravity Archives by Sir Andrew Motion on Sat 14 June! Watch this space 👀

Everyone at Arts Council England is incredibly saddened to hear that Caroline Miller OBE, Chief Executive of Birmingham Royal Ballet, passed away on Sunday. Caroline was an inspirational leader, champion of dance, and a passionate advocate for arts and culture. *Continued below

Just returned from fascinating research in US including meeting original cast members of Sir Arthur Bliss’s last ballet The Lady of Shalott, choreography Lew Christensen. Hugely grateful to the amazing Lisa Ullmann Travelling Scholarship Fund and Bliss Trust for their support.

@jlo_conductor @northernballet @ace_national @ace_thenorth @WeAreTheMU @NLebrecht Live music changes the audience’s experience of ballet- how might this decision impact on future audiences? And Is this not the time to prioritise peoples’ livelihoods including musicians, whose work is so vital to the life of ballet as an art form.

By reducing the company’s product in such a drastic way, how will @northernballet justify the company’s @ace_national funding? Any argument to maintain the same level would point to the company, despite its statement, has other priorities. @ace_thenorth @WeAreTheMU @NLebrecht

So many people have been asking why last night’s @bbcproms is not on TV….. well the good news is that we recorded our performance in Finland for broadcast later in the year, and will be viewable here at some point.

@RussHepplewhite @Surbiton_Church wonderful to know you are making beautiful performances- 👏👏👏
