We were absolutely delighted to work with Southampton University's Centre for Music Education and Social Justice last week by facilitating a composition workshop given by @anitadatta.bsky.social (York Uni) & Dr Kiko Shao (Cardiff Uni) both of whom have composed hymns for our Inclusive Hymn Project.

Enabling (world premiere!) recordings of unknown and/or unpublished music is central to the charity's educational work for the public benefit. We are running a pre-pub offer on the sheet-music, see our Facebook page or email [email protected] for details. youtu.be/V5QseZyGjDQ?...

In what sometimes seems a harah world, this is a lovely thread.

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less. They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time. When will we stop punishing women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

Died #OTD in 1967, Irish composer Ina Boyle. Her 1919 orchestral rhapsody The Magic Harp was one of her first major successes, scooping a Carnegie Trust award. It was premiered in 1920 by Sir Dan Godfrey & Bournemouth SO. open.spotify.com/track/0HjJHu... #britsymphyear

We are delighted to release the SATB 'Chorale' version of Anita Datta's interfaith work - Shantiniketan 'Haven of Peace' - an innovative work which draws together multiple influences from across Hindu, Islamic and Christian traditions. issuu.com/multitudeofv...

A reminder on International Women's Day that there is a wealth of sacred music by women composers to be enjoyed without charge on Soundcloud thanks to wonderfully generous amateur and professional musicians. More recordings will follow later this year! on.soundcloud.com/EFhYoPnuxu6P...

Our new commission, financially supported by The Postlethwaite Music Foundation, was conceived to further the work carried out by @salfordcathmus.bsky.social to reflect their diverse community within the repertoire. For detailed notes on this commission see our Facebook page Multitude of Voyces.

We are so proud to be able to share this lovely thread and to raise up our newest commission and the world premiere of 'Hymn to the Lord of Light' - words by Kenson Li, music by Kiko Shao - performed by @salfordcathmus.bsky.social accompanied by internationally acclaimed Guzheng player Zi Lan Liao!

We'd love to raise up Arts events around the country celebrating International Women's Day (tomorrow, 8th March). Tag us and we'll share your posts!

For Women's History Month, we would like to introduce you a child prodigy who later fought for her music to be taken seriously, Maria Rosa Coccia (1759-1833) was a composer, teacher, and harpsichordist. She worked to convince everyone that women can write just as well as men youtu.be/BhVWdajgvq4?...

We were delighted to begin a new recording project with new Project Partner Continuum (dir. Harry Guthrie) in January. Their first release is Elizabeth Maconchy's setting of Robert Herrick's text 'Down with the rosemary and bays'. See link in this thread for perusal score. youtu.be/oCiYiTHWZpE

There's still time to submit your choral compositions to this competition! More details at 3choirs.org! 🎼

This multi sectional work was composed by Marianna von Martines, who was an accomplished composer. For a context of when she composed, she was a contemporary of W.A. Mozart and a student of J. Haydn. youtu.be/LEf6FNuQ7xU?...

Do you know this composer? As Alex Ross stated in The New Yorker 2018, "not only did Price fail to enter the canon; a large quantity of her music came perilously close to obliteration. [This instance is] a potent symbol of how a country can forget its cultural history." youtu.be/3qhS07P1tW4?...

Very pleased to see Multitude of Voyces on Bluesky. They’ve done such great work bringing great music by female and other underrepresented composers to performance and commissioning new. #classicalmusic #choral

Come and hear the world premiere of our new commission, financially supported by The Postlethwaite Music Foundation - Hymn to the Lord of Light - giving space to the voice of Chinese Christians living in the UK, with text by Kenson Joseph Li and music by Kiko Shao.
