A short statement from the Trustees of the Michael Tippett Musical Foundation about BBC Singers


"One of the joys of reviewing albums is that occasionally something completely floors me. This debut album is one example ..." HUGE thanks The Yorkshire Times for this "outstanding" review of @katrinaleevln @AliceAllenCello's debut album as GAIA Duo 🙌 🎻

And thanks too The Yorkshire Times for highlighting Lucy Walker's brilliant album notes 🥰 Grab your 💿 copy complete with 💯 booklet notes and photography at Presto Music today prestomusic.com/classical/prod…



Fabulous to be back in Suffolk for a Discovery Session on the *brilliant* Cassandra Miller Britten Pears Arts The Red House, Aldeburgh. Forgot to take any other pix so here's Woodbridge on arrival and departure ☀️. And all best for Miller's viola conc. premiere Scottish Chamber Orchestra tonight!


Listen to the first episode of the Aldeburgh Festival podcast as Dr Lucy Walker talks with Anna Thorvaldsdottir about her love of orchestral sounds, sonic landscapes and her collaborations with contemporary ensembles: bit.ly/3LYLPIJ Lucy Walker

There's a wonderful evening of Tippett tonight Barbican Centre - A Child of Our Time and Concerto for Double String Orchestra BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus. tinyurl.com/2p84pf2x


I was completely blown away by @annathorvalds's Catamorphosis at last year's Aldeburgh Festival Britten Pears Arts so it was a particular pleasure to talk to her for this podcast 😊🎶


5 days left to raise the last chunk of support for Arthur Keegan’s Thomas Hardy-themed album, feat. James Girling Ligeti Quartet Dr Kerry Andrew NOW ON INSTAGRAM and yours truly. Please help make this recording happen if you can, it’s an all-or-nothing campaign! ♥️🙏🏼 kickstarter.com/projects/wesse…


Over the coming months there are LOTS of opportunities to hear Tippett's music: from Elgan Llŷr Thomas's 'Songs for Achilles' Wigmore Hall on Thursday, to ASMF Orchestra touring the UK and Germany, to BBC Proms and Edinburgh International Festival. See bit.ly/3JADV7Y for more details!


This is fascinating - a previously unpublished letter from Tippett written from prison. Our Chair Oliver Soden talks to the The Guardian about it.

Had a lovely morning Britten Pears Arts talking about Britten's Serenade, in glorious company of Prof Adrian Poole and Stuart Jackson. Failed to take any pics, but there were DIAGRAMS


I did a podcast! For Britten Pears Arts . All about A Ceremony of Carols brittenpearsarts.org/visit-us/the-r… and featuring the fabulous Ben Vonberg-Clark and Madeleine Holmes

Podcast alert📢Going to the Aldeburgh Festival Britten Pears Arts performance of Sumidigawa or Curlew River this week? Here's a handy explainer from me! With grateful thanks to Decca Classics for the clips and Nicholas Clark for lending his lovely voice bit.ly/4c5BW7C
