At last, the secret is out… we have been selected to take part in the 2017-18 Adopt a Composer scheme, paired with composer Anna Appleby.
The formal announcement was made last night at the awards ceremony in London, attended by our chair (Allison) and conductor (Louise).
This is going to be fun. The Adopt a Composer scheme pairs amateur choirs, orchestras and ensembles with a composer for a year culminating in a première performance and a broadcast on BBC Radio 3. Details of the scheme are given here.
This sounds so exciting – if a little scary! Congrats and thanks to Louise and committee for their input to the project. Let’s make it sound great. Jane
