We welcome the Culture Secretary's commitment to arts education. Meaningful reform is urgently needed to address and reverse years of decline.

We challenged our singers to have some sponsored singing fun this last week, all to raise funds for our bursary fund, so no child is excluded from the amazing opportunities that singing with us offers. Can you help us get to the finish line? donate.biggive.org/campaign/…

Collab. between @RCMLondon Junior Department and @MReadFoundation culminated in a great concert with RCMJD chamber groups + brilliant percussionist/composer Cameron Sinclair. MRF patron Dame Judith Weir shared the day, and enhanced the young composers' experience.

Over the last few days we've been emailing choirs up and down this great land, asking for their support to take our singers to represent the UK at the World Choir Games. A few of those singers wanted to tell you directly why they want to go. gofund.me/62aae668

On Sunday I had my first choral premiere, under the baton of David Gibson, at the @MReadFoundation Festival 2023 where members of @Commotio_choir , Southern Voices & the festival choir performed my new piece ‘Lorem Ipsum’- what a great day! instagram.com/p/Crg70PYIA16/…

Mark of a quality composition is how much of it is stuck in your brain the day after you've performed it. Been whistling all day. #ColonelBoles @MReadFoundation @Commotio_choir

Such varied compositions and styles. Loved Felix's inclusion of microtones. Some very talented young composers involved!
