Yesterday was such a whirlwind with the opening of #glasshuman Glyndebourne . What a committed group of performers, artists, technicians. I'm in awe of them all. And now we get to do it all over again today! And then off on the road around the UK! 🚗 (📷Richard Hubert Smith)

Music by Donald Nally, Shara Nova, Tyshawn Sorey, Canat de Chizy Edith, Joseph C. Phillips, Jr., LJ White, Sam Fernando, Dr Adu, Nina Shekhar, Vanessa Lann, Mary Jane Leach, Alex Berko, and Viet Cuong music.apple.com/us/album/carol…

Devastating news for regional access to opera & for commissioning. #glasshuman (my first opera) was commissioned for the 2022 tour. It was part of opening up of the tour to include new work. It was great to be part of this vision. ACE funding cuts are obliterating this progress.

Dispelled the January humdrum with 3 days in Vienna working with Olivia. New piece for solo violin for her upcoming album! It was so good to have these days to connect and share ideas/food/stories, as well as recording the piece! The joy of the in-person experience 😁

Glad to be one of the 700 composers to have signed this letter in support of BBC Singers. I hope the BBC are listening- the appreciation/admiration/love for this ensemble is strong. The letters & petitions keep coming... #WeAreTheBBCSingers

When I recently moved house, my very dear friend Fay gifted me some Koshi bells. They feature at the end of Sound Inhabitants which will be premiered tomorrow evening at the Purcell Room Southbank Centre by the London Sinfonietta Academy. southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/class…

Reading this over my breakfast has been a such a positive start to the day! Every musician will tell you the wide-ranging benefits of a musical education but here's the joyful evidence in a primary school in Bradford. theguardian.com/education/2017…

New piece from me, written with love for everyone in grief right now. It has a simple message: "Side with the child over the gun every single time, no matter whose gun and no matter whose child." Moral consistency ≠ Moral equivalency. 💔 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Also hey everybody. If you’re not an artist, this is for you. Spotify sends artists these end of year wrap ups which is a criminally sort of animated thing that says things like the attached.

Nice opportunity for composers interested in opera...

Sometimes you read an article and it is just SPOT ON 'The rise of amateur orchestras, community choirs and dance groups arguably doesn’t need to be celebrated. It is the celebration.' theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
