Manchester-based composer Michael Betteridge on why co-creation rather than individual composition is at the heart of his practice, the difference between big “C” and little “C” composers, and whether the future of opera is as precarious as people think. van-magazine.com/mag/michael-...

Hey, I wrote this! So pleased to be making by debut in VAN Magazine. Thanks so much to @mbetteridge.bsky.social for his time last week.

Our wonderful @mbetteridge.bsky.social has started a stunning arrangement of Strawberries & Cigarettes by Troye Silvan for a gig later in year! What better spot than Social Refuge in Manchester to have a little road test of this amazing song! Tell us what you think!

We’re very pleased to welcome the much-in-demand composer and conductor Michael Betteridge! For him “composing music is about storytelling and fostering connection” @mbetteridge.bsky.social whatsnew.composersedition.com/michael-bett...
