Today Lord's Cricket Ground welcomed some awesome young people to their first live sport. Gripped throughout in their own particular way. they’d never have gone except for The Hundred. Don’t get me wrong, I love a red ball game but today cricket was really for everyone Rebecca Hare
#HerGameToo niche incarnation. I get singing pupils shadow-playing a ball sport to relax when they breathe. Seniors still prefer tennis, but all u13s want cricket. Result: an army of young female singers, practising front-foot drives every time they warm up to sing. Her Game Too Cricket
Excellent rehearsal involving another round of ‘how to make Chloë look tall enough to be intimidating’ with Rebecca Hare. Delighted to be bringing Marginalia to Cranleigh School this week!
Best student feedback on Marginalia's 'Juliet and Romeo' Cranleigh School: 'Miss, you were great at dying. I was kinda worried for you'. Also brava Rebecca Hare for accidentally picking for audience participation the 3 of my students who would find it the most mortifying
5 seasons since we were here for the End/Ind World Cup final. Hoping for as good a game today and many more trips to watch women’s cricket Lord's Cricket Ground in the future. Great to see MCC Foundation hub cricketers provide the guard of honour. Such an important initiative
Been fun back singing Guildford Cathedral much more often recently. After evensong today, can confirm Cheryl Frances-Hoad’s Merton College, Oxford service is excellent and more people should sing it!
Excited to start my year as Director of Studies for music Selwyn College 10 years after nervous-fresher Chloë arrived here. Selwyn has been such an important part of my adult life. Thrilled to be able to give back now. (NB. Going *behind* the plodge desk will never not feel weird)
Looking forward to altoing for this tonight Ely Cathedral. Wonderful but also extremely silly. Definitely not petite or solennelle
Chloë Allison Ely Cathedral A really wonderful performance. The final Agnus Dei solo was sublime. Still with me this morning. Thank you 🙏
Taking a break from marking 15th-century essays for last minute stand-in recital with Sarah MacDonald Selwyn College tomorrow 8.30pm. Ina Boyle (below), Ethel Smythe, Amy Beach. Exquisite miniatures from all three with some RVW thrown in because 🎂 Come along if you’re around! (Free entry)
Such a moving Remembrance day of music and memories, revisiting our student days and appreciating the music Newnham College Selwyn College Pembroke College Cambridge. Thankyou The Choirs of Pembroke College, Cambridge Anna Lapwood Sarah MacDonald Chloë Allison
Back in frosty Cambridge for soloing in Britten’s Ceremony of Carols and other Christmas favourites with the lovely Choir2000 and legendary Chloë Allison 😊🎄🎵❄️
I had the loveliest time performing Ceremony of Carols with Chloë Allison and Anna-Luise Wagner this weekend. #britten #harp
Back from many months of hibernation to say seeing Lydia Caines in BBC NOW BBC Proms was totally awesome. So proud of my Selwyn College muso buddy!! Great programme of American music - catch it on bbc sounds
Delighted to be an Music at St Martin-in-the-Fields Associate Choral Leader this year and therefore to be planning music lists for the enthusiastic children of Dunstable Priory Church Choir. Excited to learn more music & liturgy from the vastly experienced Rachel Phillips 🎄. A new chapter of conducting things!
I feel so privileged to have started my year Music at St Martin-in-the-Fields today. Excellent colleagues with so much knowledge to share. So many exciting possibilities. And SO FUN to conduct such a talented group of singers in such a beautiful space.
We had the best time with our Hansel & Gretel at Folkestone Living Advent calendar - complete with ‘booohs’ from the audience for our witch, and a visit from Lady Christmas! 😄🎄🎶🍭 Thank you, JimJam Arts! 😄
