We are sad to share with you the news that Oxford Brookes University has decided to close its music department. Below a statement from the music team - we are all devastated.

We are proud but also rather overwhelmed that 91.7% of our music finalists declared that they were happy with their programme! It was a very tough year for staff and students, who worked together to make it a success. #NSS2021

Last performed in the UK in 1987, Gluck's The Crown from @bamptonopera on May 18 will be the first live performance attended by a live audience at @StJohnsSmithSq since the start of the third lockdown in England. Lovely. #Classical #Opera blog.thoroughlygood.me/2021/…

I am excited and honoured to make history as the first woman President of the @royalmusical. I am joined by 5 all-female Vice-Presidents (another first). Together we can work for the vitality of the music discipline in all its diversity! @RNCMvoice @RNCMresearch

We're very sorry not to be singing in Kensington tonight: here's a clip from our atmospheric Oxford concerts. Our programme was filmed in York and can be streamed at ncem.co.uk/events/stile-anti…. And at 1pm on Mon we'll be streaming Spanish Christmas music for free from @wigmore_hall!

It always frustrates me to hear people say that they don't go to concerts because they don't know enough about classical music. I think my friend Olli Mustonen had the answer to that: 'It's like saying that you won't walk in the forest because you don't know enough about botany.'

Reading through my notes from the #oberto2019 conference on the Operatic Canon. Really enjoyed the in-depth presentations, debates and chats with opera-consumed folk. Grateful to @amwilson_opera @BarbaraEichner and @APalidda for organising it and inviting me

#oberto2019 delegates: if you or anyone you know is inspired to pursue your interests in opera further, we still have places for this autumn on @BrookesMusicMA. @APalidda runs a brilliantly imaginative, flexible programme of study. Please tell your friends too!

Please consider this if you want to learn more about opera/C19th music. Courses change from time to time & this particular pathway may not be around forever. Our students always speak highly of it & course leader @apalidda is enriching their experience with many fun activities.
