Congrats to our dear leader for being elected an Honorary Vice-President of the WMA - some distinguished footsteps to follow in!

There''s now more money for choral music in two chapels on one small stretch of Oxford High Street than there is for any sort of music in the entirety of Devon and Cornwall.

Why are we failing so badly to get the funding balance right? Opinion for Spring's #ClassicalMusic mag.

'I am beginning to run out of superlatives to describe EXAUDI...It is always a treat to hear them perform live.' Sincere thanks to Niki Zohdi for this lovely review of our performance of Jürg Frey hcmf// last November.

'After much consideration, the artist (name redacted) has decided to refuse your request.'
Covid-era presentation for a performance by EXAUDI in 2021.

What an impact Peter Eötvös had on the new music world, as composer, conductor and extraordinarily influential and nurturing teacher. We had only the one brush with this musical giant, performing his 'SCHILLER: Energische Schönheit' in 2011, and he was absolutely lovely. RIP.

Note to all composers: write your scores in C. The usual octave transpositions are ok. I spent 6 weeks deciphering the chords in Elektra. After that I decided I’ll not put any conductor colleagues through that unnecessary ordeal with my own scores.

We re-did our website. Take a look! (And thanks to MarshallLightStudio for the rebrand - we recommend them to anyone looking to do the same.) exaudi.org.uk

Weeks’ ‘Primo Libro’ released by Ekmeles, on New Focus Recordings: James Weeks’ fascinating work Primo Libro, a set of 16 short madrigals, has been released on CD by Ekmeles... uymp.co.uk/news/2024-03-1…

We LOVE this new release from our very own David de Winter. A generous helping of Schützian deliciousness, lustrously sung and vibrantly played by TheBrookStreetBand. Bravi!

Born on this date in 1955 was the intriguing English composer and writer @FantasticDrFox, who we heard from recently on Flotation Device ruminating on the Easter Rising with help from W. B. Yeats, EXAUDI and Composers Edition.
