Much looking forward to directing one of my favourite pieces in the glorious surroundings of this lovely church. A joy to make music with so many friends and one of the finest organists in the UK. Do come if you can!

Conductor Hilary Davan Wetton criticizes a St Pancras Church ad seeking a "highly skilled" Director/organist/pianist: temp to Jan 2027, heavy duties, salary £10k. He urges the Church of England to value and pay musicians fairly. #ChurchOfEngland #ClassicalMusic #FairPay

Do join us for this intriguing concert; as usual with the excellent English music Festival it contains rarities which are shamefully neglected but truly enjoyable music. It is always a delight to make music with the Godwine Choir, but this will be a particular pleasure.....

Madness. An outstanding music department (along with many others) is just going to be thrown in the bin. Have we lost all sense of value today?
#BreakingNews Cardiff University has set out proposals to cut 400 jobs and close a number of degree programmes, including nursing and music, due to a funding shortfall

Great weekend for Alina Orchestra, working with 8 talented 'emerging conductors': one from Brazil via Paris, one from Dublin, one from Australia via London and 5 from all over the UK. Each showed real promise; perhaps more importantly they all manifestly improved over the w/end.

Still buzzing from the Alina Choir 'Celestial Sounds' concert in the beautiful surroundings of Little St Mary's in Cambridge last Sunday. An intense weekend of preparation, but the performance of the Schütz Musikalische Exequien was gripping - what a piece!

A great occasion at The Venue MK on Saturday. Proof that music brings us together in a divided world. Western classical music (inc. Mozart 40) together with skilled arrangements of Arabic melodies. Do come to celebrate our common humanity with music!

Last call for Sunday's Spectacular in Camberley. Hugely looking forward to making music with Crispian again; no one makes a better sound on the trumpet. Programme ranges from Purcell to Bacharach on Flugelhorn, with tea and cake afterwards. Free parking at the church too!

A post of true triviality. I am trying buy something from Hawes & Curtis UK and I wish to use 'Click and Collect'. Despite being offered on the Website, it cannot be done - and the usual £5 delivery charge will be applied. No explanation, no apology. Customer Service hopeless.

Delighted to be interviewed by The Stage magazine about my current crusade: https://t.co/mrv5Y6jqWd This really ought to be high on @bphillipsonMP's agenda. Music is not just good for people - it improves all other outcomes as well.

Last call for this lovely concert tonight. The wonderful Becky Bottone singing Berlioz's glorious 'Nuits d'Eté' and one of Mozart's most optimistic symphonies. Only a few seats remain - it should be a very special evening:

A great event in @DorchesterAbbey: one of the most beautiful buildings in Britain; just sitting in the church will balance the grim scenarios which currently surround us. The splendid Godwine Choir sings very fine music by Holst, Howells, Stanford and many others. Do come!
