@hutchingsmusic Absolutely! And I always enjoy reading your posts, Chris, and am currently following your ‘12 days’ with interest! I only hope that choir directors are also seeing them..

@hutchingsmusic Incidentally, I don’t use Twitter very much, and it would be interesting to know which social media platform composers find most effective to use in this context.
@hutchingsmusic This is an interesting discussion. I was taken to task on Facebook a few years ago for posting about performances of my pieces. Although a few people rushed to my defence, it made me very uneasy for some time about any self promotion on social media.
🚨 The arts sector, one of the hardest hit by the pandemic, faces a new and existential crisis from Omicron. I've signed the @Public_Campaign letter urging the Culture Secretary to protect UK culture with an emergency relief fund now. campaignforthearts.org/petitions/nadi…
@WMmetro Thanks. It’s just that Google maps seem to think you are running that stretch already!
@AzuriteEnigma @TheCBSO Strange that no mention was made of the organist in this review. I wasn’t able to attend the concert, but would love to have heard the Saint-Saëns live!
@snfairclough @TheCBSO @CBSOChorus @simonhalsey Thanks Simon - I’ve posted your kind and supportive message on the Facebook page for current and former Chorus members!
@Cath_Arlidge @TheCBSO @RoyalAlbertHall @bbcproms What a happy group of musicians! It was a brilliant concert - many congratulations!

Quick update from me on choirs
@MarqueeArtsTV @GernonBen @TheCBSO It’s a brilliant performance - of all three pieces - well worth watching and hearing Marquee tv!
Gordon Thornett retweeted
I have written to @OliverDowden (@DCMS & @DCMSArts) to ask about the rationale for the restrictions placed on non-professional singing - the guidance states that only 6 singers can meet in an indoor space. We should see the evidence that has led to these tight strictures.
Gordon Thornett retweeted
Please tell us what changed @DCMS @PHE_uk #ChoirsMatter
@FunChorus @VivaceChorus @CavendishThe @MakingMusic_UK @abcdtweets @ISM_music Indeed.... the research was done last year. It's really not clear why these restrictions have been brought in. We need to be asking PHE and DCMS what has changed since then.
Gordon Thornett retweeted
Bravo @RichmoMusic in today's Times for telling it like it is.
Gordon Thornett retweeted
Morning @OliverDowden @cj_dinenage @DCMS by now you will have noticed considerable upset in the law-abiding, safety-conscious + passionately committed choir community. Please do the right thing so we can get back to making music together this week
Gordon Thornett retweeted
Here we are last night. Really spaced, huge venue, lots of protocols. Can't tell you how lovely it was to hear people singing around you. @DCMS - this is a safe, managed way to help people with their wellbeing, get singing back on track and give our professionals their jobs back.
Gordon Thornett retweeted
If @MakingMusic_UK was not consulted then it is outrageous for @DCMS to publish this guidance 24 hours late with no advance warning. Choirs make responsible plans based on venue size and risk assessments. Plus most are lateral flow testing. This should all be taken into account.
We are very concerned about the latest updates to the performing arts guidance and are urgently asking @DCMS to explain - we will post an update here as soon as we know more
