My Auden songs turn 16 today (they grow up so fast…) Tenors - why not make this the year you add them to your repertoire? Schott Music

"We gave them an education in human decency by kidnapping them and holding them captive" is the exact same racist and supremacist rationale you'd often hear from a white slaveowner in America about why they kidnapped African slaves 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

One thing that is being lost in all of this discourse is the fact that President Michael D. Higgins referred to the Holocaust as an ‘attempted’ genocide. Twice.

Thank YOU! When a member of your audience told us how much he’d been looking forward to hearing the Ligeti horn trio live (his dream being to sing in the Ligeti Requiem), it made all the hard work worth it!

Now available from Schott Music - my violin sonata, written for the wonderful Tamsin Waley-Cohen and premiered in 2020 Wigmore Hall

No better preparation for a trip to Aldeburgh than switching on BBC Radio 3 and catching 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 sounding completely astonishing as Peter Grimes with Welsh National Opera - switch on now, you’ll be in time for Now the Great Bear and Pleiades.
