Happy 1st birthday @Into_Opera Here's to many more years of sharing #music and inspiring kids to create, collaborate and explore more! Some of my favourite photos from #AKingsRansom 💙

Saw this last night and COMPLETELY agree, NOZUKO you were phenomenal, I think the audience are still picking their jaws up off of the floor —amazing singing!

The Xmas concert to end all Xmas concerts! Had such a great time working with the Royal Greenwich and Blackheath Halls Youth Choir this year, you were all amazing! Any Xmas concerts without snow machines are gonna feel like a bit of a let down from now on... Blackheath Halls

This year our quiz night is in support of @RGBHChoir! By attending you'll enable these talented young singers to continue on their musical journey while having lots of fun. 'This choir has changed my life!' #operaforall Expect some singing!!

Looking forward to a weekend conducting a menu of Glinka, Britten and Ligeti with the Britten Sinfonia Academy in Cambridge this weekend. Slightly more nourishing then my recent menu of mince pies, cheese and low quality chocolate. #newyeardiet #wavingarmsisexercise
