Me: “Right I’m quitting composing for good this time, the NPO cuts are the final straw” Also me: “but what if you just put that phrase up the octave…” Me: “OK let’s DO this.”

The ROH (& ballet) is a flagship company bringing mostly international artists in most disciplines of the art form. It is not our NATIONAL opera company. Not in terms of ambitions of education, price entry level, outreach, audience demographic, innovation,artists or identity. – at North West, England

We never took our NPO status for granted, but like many of you we are mystified by the 100% cut to our Arts Council grant. We're proud of our excellence and our track record of deep engagement with East of England communities. With your support, we will continue to make our case.

I know I’m writing proper piano music when I feel guilty about not including fingering suggestions

Another little milestone on the road to ‘making good things happen’. Super impressed by the pieces that @nathanjdearden, @JonathanBrigg and @AileenSweeney94 have been working on 👏🏻 (and totally worth the 4.55am alarm)

Today's 2021 memory is of the time we got our three Magnum Opus composers into a room together for the first time to chat all things composition. @AileenSweeney94, @nathanjdearden and @JonathanBrigg are writing for us in 2022 and we can't wait. Photo: Milly March
