Looks in diary to see what’s happening next week:
128 choir auditions and 7 conductor auditions London Youth Choirs 😃

Just some of the amazing staff team who helped make choir camp at Framlingham College & Snape Maltings with National Youth Choir & London Youth Choirs 💫 amazing 💫
Thank you all 🌟

Might just look like an ordinary bus to you, but tonight I put my choir on a bus and the friendship, music, laughter and banter onboard was magical ⭐️

Made my week when a member of National Youth Choir came up to me and said he was in my little local kids choir 15 years ago, and that I got him hooked on singing. He is now 21 and the Tenor section leader 😊 There can be no greater joy as a teacher to know you inspired someone 😊

It’s choir camp o’clock 🎶

23 years after joining National Youth Choir as an alto 2 myself, today I find myself packing my bags to take my own youth choir on a joint residential with them 💙

Here is 'Wave', a piece for girls' choir! It was commissioned by the @NatYouthChoir Girls' Choir and is a feminist anthem – I adapted lyrics from quotes and paraphrases by the likes of Sojourner Truth, Jane Austen and Naomi Alderman 💪

Thank you Rachel Joy Staunton for these kind words ❤️

Rachel conducted the World Premiere of my piece 'Wave' with the National Youth Choir Girls' Choir and is the artistic director and co-founder of the incredible London Youth Choirs 🙌
