Playing in a band or singing in a choir is so much more than meets the eye. Yes, the music is beautiful, but it's everything else that makes music ensembles so life-changing. The friendships, the laughter, the camaraderie, absolutely everything. Music ensembles are priceless.

What a terribly sad day. Duty, service, courage and a wonderful sense of humour. RIP Maam

Mission: Impossible

Fill a school with music and it becomes better. Fill an education with music and it becomes better. Fill a life with music and it becomes better. Fill a community with music and it becomes better. If you want to make something better, put music right at the heart of it.

To my friends in the media: This is a time of high drama, I agree. But while you gossip endlesly about who's in and who's out, you have almost entirely ignored the Public Order Bill that was passed in the Commons this week: the most draconian legislation of the modern era.

When we want something to be better we add music. When we want to signify the importance of something we add music. When we want to forget our troubles we add music. There are few things as important, or as versatile, as music when it comes to living our lives to the fullest.

An absolute pleasure to be joining RomseyChoralSociety tonight for their concert in the stunning Romsey Abbey, singing Duruflé’s Requiem and Haydn’s Nelson Mass. Remembrance Day begins with Mattins at Salisbury Cathedral, featuring the brilliant Howell’s Collegium Regale. What a weekend.

If you want to bring young people together you use music. If you want to bring a school together you use music. If you want to bring adults together you use music. If you want to bring a community together you use music. Music brings people together in the most wonderful way
