@andrewoneillHT Can reccomend Wylam Brewery for Sunday Lunch. And the little train behind it is endorsed by the Perf Arts dept.

@conductorjustin Eriks Esenvalds, with a poem by Sara Teasdale. Thanks for coming!

@jamesslimings I was at the concert on Sunday. Who wrote Stars? What a beautiful piece. Fabulous performance! Congratulations!

Had a great first concert and right back in the second rehearsal for the amazing @HertsMusic gala at the RAH. Had a great time working with the combined choirs and conducting Stars

Such a privilege for our students to be involved with this amazing organisation.

Benvenuti all’Opera - Welcome to Opera! Following #WorldOperaDay2024 theme of ‘Welcome to Opera’, we hosted a Directing Masterclass with @allsaintsscrbck's budding opera makers! #outreach #operacommunity #london

@andrewoneillHT So many young people from the north east were working at national level music when I was in @teesvalleymusic hope the hubs help to bring this back. 10% of the @natyouthchoir tour in 2009 were from the Tees Valley.

So proud of the work we do @allsaintsccrbkc and having a group of state school students realise that opera is THEIR music too.

Insanely proud of students @allsaintsccrbkc today working with @operahollandpk for #WorldOperaDay proving it’s an exciting, fresh, and inspiring art form now. With student orchestra, conductor, singers, directors we even accidentally serenaded everyone at lunch!

Ever been told you can't sing? Love to do it anyway? Then we want you! We're putting together a choir of untrained voices to perform at the festival next month. If you're over 18, based locally, and interested in taking part, find out more on our website: hcmf.co.uk/open-call-non-…

We are really excited to perform Evergreen at Hatfield House Chamber Music Festival on Saturday. Such a beautiful venue and a fantastic festival 🌿🎶🎭 hatfieldhousemusicfestival.org.uk/2024-festival/…

"Every child deserves the chance to study the creative subjects that widen their horizons, provide skills employers do value, and prepare them for the future - the jobs and the world that they will inherit." - Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer at #LabourConference24

Excellent sentiment. Looking forward to seeing how this works in practice.

@andrewoneillHT @bphillipsonMP Which is perfectly espoused in the 130 students that signed up for this years production. Inter year group friendships, community, teamwork, skill development, and confidence. Such a privilege to work at a school that encourages this!

Not to forget Crouch End Singers and some prep for HHMF

What a week. 180 auditions for our Schola Cantorum ✅ 104 auditions for Guys and Dolls✅ First rehearsal back with @hertsmusic youth choirs (with a performance for councillors) ✅ Year 7 welcome mass and parents welcome @allsaintsccrbkc Love my job.

🎵 Our new Music Opportunities Pilot launched today with @YoungSoundsUK is supporting disadvantaged and SEND children to learn an instrument or sing to a high standard. We’re providing a £2m investment on top of £3.8m from delivery partners. More info: gov.uk/government/new…

An exciting pilot project here, indicating an encouraging direction of travel for music education. gov.uk/government/new…

@ParmitersMusic Sounds amazing!!!!!

Touring choir in rehearsal in our hostel in Aachen.

Blown away by the talented students at @allsaintsccrbkc! Some as young as 12, performing an hour long reduction of Figaro, all in Italian. An amazing achievement and testament to the incredible staff @jamesslimings, Jessica Finlay & the whole music and drama departments👏
