The BBC Singers may have a reprieve for now, but the fight to save music at the BBC is not over yet. Take action to stop job cuts at the BBC Concert, Philharmonic and Symphony orchestras, and protect the BBC Singers after 30 September. Email the BBC now: bit.ly/40R9H79

Take Action to Stop Job Cuts at BBC Orchestras and Protect the BBC Singers After September

The BBC’s u-turn on the BBC Singers is positive news. However, their future and 43 jobs in the BBC Concert, Philharmonic and Symphony orchestras are still at risk.

What a great afternoon at the Cheltenham Festival of Singing in aid of @MindsongGlos. Lovely to hear other choirs, and for some of us, a chance to stay on and sing the Hallelujah Chorus under James Gilchrist’s inspiring direction!
