Come and work with me to support one of the nicest bunches of players and singers you could hope to meet. If you've not worked in music before but you're an administrative ace then this job could equally well be for you—do get in touch with any questions.

And that’s a wrap on our Isle of Wight tour! 12 performances, over 1000 audience members, and countless wonderful interactions and interpretations of Stripes. Huge thanks to IOW Music Hub for having us and to Arts Council England for making our work possible. #mentalhealthawareness

💯 This is an exciting job for which someone awesome might consider relocating, or changing their childcare scenario, how can candidates possibly do that maths if there is not even a range. Why would you limit your applicant pool like that?

Spectacular setting and gorgeous acoustic Cheltenham Festivals for Dunedin Consort's last outing of Cassandra Miller's Chanter with Sean Shibe & John Butt. On BBC Radio 3 in due course, if you can't make it here in the next few hours...

Organ scholar as I finished as a chorister at Southwark, and then gave me my first lesson as a countertenor. Made my heart happy that he was back at Southwark. Deeply sad.

Artistic planning ≠ great municipal projects but Prof Bent Flyvbjerg unpicking those generational megaprojects is a nice reminder of the power of making the time for percolation.

František Ignác Antonín Tůma. Remember the names. Delightfully teenage love song for Mary, surely laying a path for Bernstein... Alexander Chance & Dunedin Consort on superlative form. Handful of tickets University of St Andrews Laidlaw Music Centre tonight for this, plus Vivaldi and Zelenka.

A lovely team for a programme that turns out to be all about memory, water, and things that gleam. Come and hear how we teleport from Ariadne weeping by the Aegean to swimming in a Manitoban stream laden with iron pyrite. And that's just the first two pieces...

If you know me, you know that this is such an important thing. If you don't, the stories I could tell you about the impact of this work on us as performers and our audiences could make you weep.

We're fundraising for our 2025 programme. We're excited to go to Newcastle, Bradford, and North Devon. Any help you can offer to help us meet more amazing audiences would be so deeply appreciated.

Unbelievably proud of everyone involved in this disc. Thank you to all our funders and supporters! You've helped make a stunner from Nardus Williams to #JohnButt and some pinch-me good playing, esp. from Matthew Truscott and Jonathan Manson. It's a privilege to make the tea!

Deeply deserved applause for a stellar line-up of musicians. James MacMillan's Since it was the day of Preparation is remarkable and moving—I really hope Dunedin Consort & Hebrides Ensemble get the chance to go again and again. Just need to dry my eyes and come back down to earth now.

This was a total privilege. If nothing else I hope you might go and listen to Anna Meredith's Heal you, Cheryl Frances-Hoad's Gaude et Laetare, Tarik O'Regan's Scattered Rhymes, or James MacMillan's Miserere on disc or live later in March with us Dunedin Consort...
