Plans are almost in place to launch the Girl Choristers of the Cathedral Choir this summer. Some of those hoping to join are pictured here after they helped lead today's HM Courts of Justice Service. See stedscathedral.org/events/be… @CofEsuffolk @churchofengland @BuryStEdBeyond

I’m uncomfortable about Concert Series’, Festivals, Church Services etc being all-men-composer affairs. If you feel the same and find yourself at a Concert/Service/Event that only includes men composers, please Notice Comment Change #NoticeCommentChange 1/2

Does your church-choir/college/cathedral support gender-equality? £100 would see your organisation thanked in 4000 copies of our Anthology! Be bold: be like @JesCollChoir ! See multitudeofvoyces.co.uk. Kickstarter ends tonight but sponsorship can continue via Paypal/BACS.

Victorian music fans! @DrLSanderman has just completed a project to make the Complete Sacred Choral Music of Alice Mary Smith freely available in a set of scholarly editions and in a recording by the Eoferwic Consort. leonardsanderman.com/alicema…

Women of all backgrounds wrote an enormous amount of sacred music in the 19th Century, but almost none of it is available in modern editions, or exists only in academic publications.

Projects such as this, supported by Knowledge Exchange Project Award form the Arts & Humanities Research Council, are hugely important for dispelling the myth that women's composition is a "modern phenomenon"!

Representation matters. As a teenager, I knew I was a composer despite not knowing any other female composers. I was also gay but at the time barely saw any positive representation of LGBT people in the media (rather than characters, which I felt so lucky even existed).
