I'm all for the evolution of our classical music institutions, but to disband BBC Singers, one of the world's finest choirs, shows a total lack of imaginative leadership. Adapt don't cut! This petition deserves more signatures: chng.it/zffG4ccZMt

The view from the top of Liaghach, described as the best in Scotland by a passer by. I'm getting a sense of the music I'd like to write onto the dense contours of this ancient mountain, but not yet sure of the instrumentation!

For those who do not work in the arts, this thread outlines an unfortunately very common remuneration story.
