Read this thread and see all the amazing things happening in Leeds this week. The inspiration I got from being in that magical festival atmosphere for one day is going to fuel me for weeks. Bravo joseph middleton and @LeedsLieder team!! ❤️

Hooray for you, Joe, and your team, for the vision and execution of something so special 😍😍

In VAN this week: Dame Sarah Connolly previously described the Saudi regime as “murdering autocrats stuck in a time warp.” So why is she starring in their new flagship opera? van-magazine.com/mag/sarah-conn…

Honoured (and a little surprised) to be top of the Agenda in Gloria, Finland’s biggest fashion magazine, this month. Check it out in print and online, available in all Finnish supermarkets/bookshops/convenience stores etc! 🇫🇮❤️💅🏿✌🏾🎶🌈 #fashion #model #lieder

Beyond shocked to be on the front page of Sunday’s HBL, the national Swedish-language newspaper of Finland. I feel so honoured to have a spread about my life in Helsinki and my vision of the future of Lied, as well as talking about racism in society and in classical music. 🇫🇮🤎

A new report from Donne, Women in Music reveals a disturbing stagnation and regression in the diversity of global orchestral repertoire signalling an urgent need for change in the classical music industry. Full report HERE: donne-uk.org/wp-content/upl… #DonneReport2024

Musicians, music-lovers: please read this important report. Thank you again, Donne Foundation.

So happy to have a feature made about me for the Finnish Broadcasting Company, ylenews. It’s an article by Noora Hirn about my life in Helsinki, my work, and the Mirjam Helin International Singing Competition. Kiitos, YLE! 🇫🇮❤️yle.fi/a/74-20085701

With racist riots being organised in Harrow (please stay safe people), I hope this makes a certain faction of the South Asian community realise that no matter how hard you try to mirror the white man, the white man will always see you as the other.

Hate will not and should never win.

10000% this.

Is this what they call a glow-up? 🙈✨

So happy to have a feature in Helsingin Sanomat, Finland’s main newspaper. I got to talk about life in 🇫🇮, new audiences for chamber music/song, + the government’s dangerous cultural funding and migration policies. Online now, in print on Saturday! 📸 Usva Torkki hs.fi/taide/art-2000…

Gutted not to be in UK to hear this, but urge all you Londoners to be there. Toi toi toi, kaikki! 🇬🇧❤️🇫🇮

This is brilliant journalism, and SO eye-opening. Truly, you should read this.

I’m in OX Magazine this month talking about the premiere of Eternity In An Hour, mine and Jess Dandy’s new project reimagining the Bhagavad Gita, with new songs by Reena Esmail. We’ll be at Oxford Song (formerly Oxford Lieder) on Oct 15, and you can read more about our concert in the magazine! 🍂🍂🍂
