Fantastic new piece for voices & strings by Áine Mallon, premiered yesterday @cheltfestivals. Can’t wait to programme more of her music! 🎶

🎶World premiere 🌍 It was a real joy to perform “Nothing gold can stay”, a new work by Áine Mallon, at Cheltenham Music Festival yesterday. Composed as a response to “Faire is the rose” by Orlando Gibbons, Áine’s piece received its premiere in a programme of music by Gibbons.

I’m thrilled to be stepping into the role of Chief Conductor of the BBC Singers 🎶 Taking over from Sofi Jeannin in autumn 2026 is an honour. She’s done such inspiring work with the group since 2018, and I’m grateful to follow in her footsteps. owainpark.co.uk/bbc-singers-…

The BBC Singers and their amazing team have supported me ever since I finished university, and I can’t wait to help shape the next chapter. Tune in to BBC Radio 3 this evening for “Songs from the Shows”, or catch up with our recent Aldeburgh Festival concert on BBC Sounds. 📻

Superb Bruckner @bbcproms this evening from the @BBCSingers and @BerlinPhil (the best choir and orchestra in the world?) conducted with such imagination, colour and sense of architecture by @owainpark and Kirill Petrenko. What a concert!

How many ways can you fall off the Albert Hall stage? – and other thoughts running through my head before conducting for the first time @bbcproms. Bruckner motets before Berlin Phil play his fifth symphony. Listen in from 7.30pm this evening. 📻
