This is fascinating - a previously unpublished letter from Tippett written from prison. Our Chair @OSoden talks to the @guardian about it.

Hello people on Twitter who can find things: I seem to have lost my bookmarks! The only way I can find them is to save a bookmark then 'view saved bookmarks'. But where can I find them from the side menu?! These are the only options I have. Any ideas?

Over the coming months there are LOTS of opportunities to hear Tippett's music: from @elgantenor's 'Songs for Achilles' @wigmore_hall on Thursday, to @ASMForchestra touring the UK and Germany, to @bbcproms and @edintfest. See bit.ly/3JADV7Y for more details!

5 days left to raise the last chunk of support for Arthur Keegan’s Thomas Hardy-themed album, feat. @JamesGirling5 @LigetiQuartet @drkerryandrew and yours truly. Please help make this recording happen if you can, it’s an all-or-nothing campaign! ♥️🙏🏼

Tonight's the night! @JohnBridcut's documentary about Tippett is on BBC2 at 9pm.
This is *lovely* - and such a beautiful film.
Local Hero beached up at cinemas 40 years ago, telling the story of a Texan oil tycoon buying up a Scottish village.
In this 1983 behind-the-scenes archive clip, actors Burt Lancaster and Fulton Mackay, along with filmmaker Bill Forsyth, reflect on its magical charm.

I was completely blown away by @annathorvalds's Catamorphosis at last year's Aldeburgh Festival @BrittenPears so it was a particular pleasure to talk to her for this podcast 😊🎶

Want to hear an album of new/old/newly-found Thomas Hardy settings? Of course you do! So this is how you can help make it happen. It's a very tasty project with some brilliant people involved. kickstarter.com/projects/wes…

Fabulous to be back in Suffolk for a Discovery Session on the *brilliant* Cassandra Miller @BrittenPears @redhouse_alde. Forgot to take any other pix so here's Woodbridge on arrival and departure ☀️. And all best for Miller's viola conc. premiere @SCOmusic tonight!
Well this was fun! Really enjoyed talking to my old university pal Joe about EARLY MUSIC (not my usual territory...) 🎶🎶
In the latest episode of From The Red House podcast, Dr Lucy Walker and Joe McHardy discuss the the life and times of composers William Byrd and Thomas Weelkes - with some stunning extracts from Byrd’s music.
