We're delighted to see three 2023 RPS Composers connecting with music-makers from across Europe at @ClassicalNEXT in Berlin this week. Have a wonderful time @amybryce @Benlunn @BlasioKavuma!

Threw a few music examples at this and it's fascinating - eg "chorister" about half cost of "singer", "classical musician" about 30% less than "musician" ... Check it out (examples below show alternative job titles and approx costs compared to 'musician' costing £300)
Legitimately tweaking your job title could save you £100s on car insurance. An illustrator is often cheaper than an artist, an editor cheaper than a journalist, and a PA cheaper than a secretary. 💼 Try our job picker tool to see if you could save 👇 moneysavingexpert.com/insura…

Today @LondonAssembly members passed a motion calling for @ace_national to end its requirement for @E_N_O to move out of London. It passed unanimously and with cross-party support! xitter.cf/CityHallLabour/status/…

The ENO should remain in London, which would protect jobs and maintain London’s cultural standing. Proud to have ENO staff and members of @EquityUK and @WeAreTheMU here with us at City Hall today!

I'm a bit late to the party but just wanted to say that @LonYouthChoirs anniversary concert last week was absolutely fantastic! It's a real treat to hear so many young voices making such a fantastic sound, with such a range of repertoire. WELL DONE to all involved

A truly special event, but a standout moment for me was the world premiere of @amybryce ‘In your hands’ - a piece which shook the whole @RoyalAlbertHall with such intensity, balancing tensions of the joy of music + cries of “defund our voices” #SaveOurSubjects @ISM_music – at Paddington, London

She is planning a 10th birthday concert at the @RoyalAlbertHall on 9 May that will include a fab new work by @amybryce which was commissioned last summer but is turning out to be unbelievably apposite for these troubled musical times. #SavetheBBCSingers 3/3

Such a fundamentally different understanding of the function of arts in society here in Germany, for various historical reasons going back 100s of years... The UK would have to reassess not just funding but also function from the ground up, I think!

For anyone considering writing an opera, I’ll provide this bit of anecdotal advice: About 20 pages of libretto resulted in a bit over 600 pages of musical score.

I guess one positive from today is I'm finding lots of new arts orgs to follow through the volume of anger and solidarity (and statistics) being shared around this website

Arts organisations across the UK are in peril. Instead of filling the oceans with more Christmas tut, why not commit to buying only tickets as presents this year? #ticketsplease

The future of mental health care won’t be: “what’s wrong with you” or what disorder you’re diagnosed with. It will be: “what happened to you?” And, “that makes a lot of sense that you feel that way.”

Parliament is a shit show. BJ is riding roughshod over hundreds of years of Parliamentary norms. There WERE parties. Boris KNEW. Therefore he LIED in the commons. What are we going to do about it? Let's make lying in parliament history! RT!
