Thank you for letting me know X
We've already missed a few of my favourites, but keep a special eye out for Avril Coleridge-Taylor on the 7th, Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel on the 10th, Maconchy on the 11th, @errollynwallen.bsky.social on the 13th and Ethel Smyth on the 31st.
We are thrilled to announce that Master of the King’s music @errollynwallen.bsky.social CBE has joined the Martin Read Foundation as patron 🎵 if you’re still considering whether to go for this year’s young composers’ scheme, read Errollyn’s words below & apply here 😄 tinyurl.com/3ecrtke4
Delighted to see our Resonus Classics disc with @errollynwallen.bsky.social and the BBC Concert Orchestra featured here!
“The pieces on this album draw from Wallen’s 30-years-and-counting career, and the present a wholly joyful and high-spirited portrait of the composer”
It was a special concert with three very special new works. It’s all happening in Orkney.
Lovely to hear Three Times by @kathietouin.bsky.social in St Magnus Cathedral. Kathie is pictured, with flowers for her Highly Commended piece, with competition winners Andrew Woodward & Robert Tullock. The awards were presented by Master of the King's Music, @errollynwallen.bsky.social #Orkney
Of course this playlist simply HAD to include the magical ‘Peace on Earth’, by @errollynwallen.bsky.social, Master of the King’s Music.
It also includes ‘Drop down, ye heavens’, by the former Master of the King’s Music, Judith Weir.
✨🎄✨
wow
Exciting arrival from @errollynwallen.bsky.social and @mahoganyopera.bsky.social today. #NewMusic
Thank you Kenneth X
There are some experiences you just know are going to stay with you for a lifetime.
Monday’s @wigmore-hall.org.uk
recital by @errollynwallen.bsky.social & Ruby Hughes was one of those!
Sublime renditions of Errollyn’s songs, beautifully juxtaposed with songs by Benjamin Britten and Charles Ives.
An ace lunchtime recital today @wigmore-hall.org.uk of @errollynwallen.bsky.social’s songs - alongside Britten & Ives - performed beautifully by Ruby Hughes with the composer herself at the piano. Soulful, inspiring.
To @wigmore-hall.org.uk this lunchtime to see Ruby Hughes and @errollynwallen.bsky.social perform a striking programme of songs by Charles Ives and Benjamin Britten as well as Wallen herself, plus a special encore. Those unlucky enough not to be there can catch up here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
We were wowed by @errollynwallen.bsky.social's work, The Elements, at the First Night of the #BBCProms - especially after @benenglandbem.bsky.social's recent, fascinating lecture series taught us all about The Elements of Music. It's still available - don't miss it! choirlibrary.com/memberships-...
The master of the King’s music and friend of @mahoganyopera.bsky.social, @errollynwallen.bsky.social, talks about her mission to keep music in schools, writing a piece for Charles III — and whether Rule, Britannia! has had its day

First Night of the Proms: summer is properly here at last, and there’s an @errollynwallen.bsky.social world premiere to boot. Hoping for as much drama but less stress than last night’s football… 🎶

Thank you for this wonderful review, Michael. The project has been a real labour of love for all concerned. Every composer needs a Philippe Quint.
On tour with the brilliant Scottish Ensemble from tomorrow! 6 venues around Scotland feat. music by Julie Pinel, Barbara Strozzi, @errollynwallen.bsky.social me & more! scottishensemble.co.uk/programme/20... @askonasholt.bsky.social
Vital violin concertos by Lera Auerbach and @errollynwallen.bsky.social receive ardent advocacy by Philippe Quint and the Andrew Litton-led @rsno.bsky.social, all making their appreciable debuts on @pentatonemusic.bsky.social. My review for Limelight magazine: limelight-arts.com.au/reviews/mile...

So pleased, Jeremy!
“If I ever get stuck with a piece, I just think ‘What would Little E do?’”: I’ve only just got round to reading this great interview from @errollynwallen.bsky.social.
I am honoured and delighted.❤️
Second, Tête à Tête has its first patron; none other than composer, Master of the King's Music, and longstanding friend of Tête à Tête @errollynwallen.bsky.social!
