I accidentally co-ordinated my carol book with my takeaway cup this morning. So here goes:

I miss Valentina & her kiosk. I miss her positivity & warm-heartedness. Valentina has been undergoing cancer treatment. To cheer her up I turned the Valentina’s Kiosk theme into a song & the legendary @BBCSingers have recorded it for her. Here is Valentina’s Song. @BBCRadio3

We missed the Aurora Borealis over the weekend, so we’re consoling ourselves with memories of our magical 2022 concert, #NorthernLights. Were you there?

To make a prairie it takes a clover
and one bee, –
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do
If bees are few.

Straight into another exciting project this week!

It is obviously infuriating when delivery drivers on electric bikes zoom past you unsafely on the pavement, but as this shows, they have to maintain an unachievable work rate to even remotely make a living. Blame the system, not the individuals.

Another exciting project wrapped up this morning, and we can’t wait to tell you all about it!
For now, all we’ll say is that our upper voices had a marvellous time with composer @irene_buckley & @rte_co —and you’ll get to hear the finished product sometime soon on @RTElyricfm 🤫 – at Dublin City, Ireland

Monday listening sorted! Our @KingsPlace concert, celebrating the marvellous music of Judith Weir, is on @BBCRadio3 tonight at 7.30PM 🌟
Alongside Weir's colourful Missa del Cid, there's music from @jamesmacm, @EPerivolaris, and some of Renaissance Spain’s finest composers 🎶

Haven't said too much about this because I wanted the composers to have a decent shot at getting the tickets first in a small venue, but there are a handful of seats left for TONIGHT at the 1901 Arts Club - would love to see some more friendly faces.
