Sir Stephen Cleobury, Conductor Laureate of the BBC Singers, and Chief Conductor from 1995 until 2007, has sadly passed away. He was a much loved member of the BBC Singers family and will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathies are with his wife Emma and his family.

When your music stand is straining under the weight of so many notes, sometimes utter simplicity is a balm. Today our studio audience will get to hear where composer @StephenMcNeff takes this familiar melody... 🌟 🎶 Recorded for future broadcast for @BBCRadio3
