    Having just had a few days off from Twitter I’m absolutely bowled over by the quantity & generosity of all the comments following the Coronation. I’m sorry I can’t reply to each one individually. THANK YOU to all who have written and to my countless wonderful fellow musicians.

    Hugely proud of our 6 wonderful probationers who started 10 days ago. Here is their very first visit to Chapel. Wow! The start of 6 amazing journeys. If you know children who love singing, please get in touch! We have several spaces left for next year. @SJCChoir @SJCS_Cambridge

    1/3 One of the proudest days of my career: hearing superlatively talented organ scholar, George Herbert, conduct @SJCChoir Advent broadcast (2 days after my +ve Covid test.) Choristers sang SO well, with just 10 out of 16 well enough to sing. Gents simply outstanding as usual.

    Best wishes to the great James O’Donnell as he moves on from a uniquely distinguished career in the UK. 40 unbroken years at the pinnacle of the profession at @wcchoir & @WAbbeyChoir. Awe-inspiring! Britain’s great loss is @yalemusic’s gain. Thank you for enriching so many lives.

    A joyous time for the Choir of St John’s! Thrilled that we’ve formally admitted our first 3 girls to the choir. Amelia, Ingrid & Martha were presented with their surplices by the Dean at Evensong yesterday. Exciting times ahead! @SJCChoir @stjohnscam @CanonOakley @SJCS_Cambridge

    2/2 …the group is to be abolished. I have been standing by some of the musicians’ memorials in Westminster Abbey wondering what Elgar, Walton, Howells, Britten, Boult and others would have made of this news. We must not return to being ‘the land without music.’
