We should say that the real reason for all of this is our ‘Reasons to Sing’ Year 8 school outreach initiative in Leeds, Bham, and Newcastle w/ Horizon Voices Stile Antico Katherine Butler & Dr Katie Bank 🍍 w/ thx to Arts Council England, Renaissance SRS, Uni of Birmingham, Northumbria Uni -more soon.

Today we’re partnering with the @brightonemf 415 Orchestra for a teatime concert of Magnificat, Opera and Dixit Dominus extracts, alongside some of our favourite a cappella pieces this year 🎵 #choralaccessibility #partnership

Couldn’t have asked for a more appreciative & enthusiastic audience - particularly when joining us to sing Judith Weir’s My Guardian Angel! Thanks again Brighton Early Music for organising a fantastic partnership as part of the emerging artists scheme! #choralaccessibility #partnership

We had a great time delivering school workshops in Crawley as part of the Brighton Early Music scheme - we’re so grateful for all of the opportunities, masterclasses, concerts, education training and workshops, virtual industry training….we’re excited for the future of our ensemble! 🎶❤️
