Super proud of my Dark Sky Voices who performed a fabulous set @mcrchoralcomp yesterday on stage at Royal Northern College of Music! What a treat to accompany them on the Steinway grand for our rendition of Amazing Grace. Congratulations to all 18 choirs involved. Fabulous day!

So sad I missed this performance yesterday @mcrchoralcomp Thank you Harmonia for choosing one of my pieces!
Replying to @james_b_draper
The beautiful sound of all one million members of Harmonia doing “Sing a Song of Sixpence” with special actions and sounds effects for the nose being pecked off. #MACC2025

Loved being part of last nights @bbcproms @glasshouseicm. Stunning performances by Alena Baeva & @RNSinfonia and the wonderful Chorus of RoyalNorthernSinfonia who sang 'One Foot on Sea and One on Shore' beautifully to a very big crowd in the concourse beforehand! BRAVO 👍👍👍
