There are some experiences you just know are going to stay with you for a lifetime. Monday’s @wigmore-hall.org.uk recital by @errollynwallen.bsky.social & Ruby Hughes was one of those! Sublime renditions of Errollyn’s songs, beautifully juxtaposed with songs by Benjamin Britten and Charles Ives.

An ace lunchtime recital today @wigmore-hall.org.uk of @errollynwallen.bsky.social’s songs - alongside Britten & Ives - performed beautifully by Ruby Hughes with the composer herself at the piano. Soulful, inspiring.

To @wigmore-hall.org.uk this lunchtime to see Ruby Hughes and @errollynwallen.bsky.social perform a striking programme of songs by Charles Ives and Benjamin Britten as well as Wallen herself, plus a special encore. Those unlucky enough not to be there can catch up here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

We were wowed by @errollynwallen.bsky.social's work, The Elements, at the First Night of the #BBCProms - especially after @benenglandbem.bsky.social's recent, fascinating lecture series taught us all about The Elements of Music. It's still available - don't miss it! choirlibrary.com/memberships-...

The master of the King’s music and friend of @mahoganyopera.bsky.social, @errollynwallen.bsky.social, talks about her mission to keep music in schools, writing a piece for Charles III — and whether Rule, Britannia! has had its day www.thetimes.com/culture/clas...

First Night of the Proms: summer is properly here at last, and there’s an @errollynwallen.bsky.social world premiere to boot. Hoping for as much drama but less stress than last night’s football… 🎶

Praise from our cultured cousins North of the Border: "In an album of works written over two decades, the BBC Concert Orchestra under conductor John Andrews illustrate the instinctive eclecticism that gives Wallen’s music its instant accessibility and charm." @errollynwallen.bsky.social

Some thoughts on conducting works by living composers, in relation to our recent disc with @errollynwallen.bsky.social. My interview with 'Notes From the Podium' (££ for the serious musical nerds) is at: www.notesfromthepodium.co.uk?p=1992

We need to thank @errollynwallen.bsky.social for writing the music and @jkaconductor.bsky.social for conducting it. I will definitely give it another listen later today, I already listened again to the Dances and they are great!

"Evocative, exciting, and richly scored music that zings with originality... Everything @errollynwallen.bsky.social touches is supremely orchestrated, each piece brimming with intriguing sonic effects and genuine popular appeal."

Afterwords: Pierre Boulez at 100 features contributions from the composer George Benjamin, the pianist Mitsuko Uchida, @errollynwallen.bsky.social, Master of the King's Music, and Gillian Moore, former Director of Music at the Southbank Centre in London www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
