A wonderful day with @SinfoniaSmithSq closing with a seminar on getting creative ideas off the ground. @Libby_Burgess and Dan have put their creative ideas for the train home well and truly into action…
Fantastic 2nd day recording music by Matthay, Howell and McEwen @SJE_Arts with @simondcallaghan. So grateful to @VWFndn@FRouthTrust@JIrelandtrust and many individuals for helping make this happen.
We've got some great new photos by Liz Isles! And to celebrate, we've dusted down our One Word Interview for (relative) BE newbie, Martin Ludenbach - berkeleyensemble.co.uk/news/…
Time is running out - help us to record an album to put Dorothy Howell's twice lost, unpublished and as yet unrecorded String Quartet back in the repertoire. Donate here and rewrite music history!

A fantastic weekend on our Chamber Sessions Course finishing in the beautiful surroundings of @ConwayHall. A magical combination of musical energy and a genuine sense of fun and togetherness. Heart-warming stuff! @pauljcott @slackjohn1
The crowdfunder for our project to record Dorothy Howell's String Quartet is half way to its target! The album will also feature music by her mentors, Tobias Matthay and John Blackwood McEwen. Find out more about Matthay in the 🧵below, or skip to the end to donate...
Matthay's stature as a pedagogue grew at the expense of his reputation as a composer and his Piano Quartet remains unrecorded and unheard. Help us to put it back on the map with our premiere recording - donate here!

We're still on a high after last night's concert at @ConwayHall. Very special thanks to guest pianist @simondcallaghan who played 37 notes to every one of ours without so much as a raised eyebrow
Also don't forget it's not too late to donate to our Dorothy Howell album crowdfunder to fund our recording of the non-Elgar bits of yesterday's concert! crowdfunder.co.uk/p/dorothy-…
