Fabulous evening listening to some seriously classy singing (and playing) @LHandelFestival Handel Singing Competition. Lovely to be on the panel this year!

One of the best concerts I have heard for years. Cozzolani is a revelation, and deserves to emerge as the most significant voice of the generation immediately following Monteverdi. Distinctive in her rhythmic variation and layered, sonata-like structures, she is capable of magic.

Cozzolani. Genius. @timeandtruthoxf and @harpsichris the best of educators and musicians. @davidjdewinter @NotA_RealTenor @ElizabethMNurse such quality singers. And our fabulous students - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow, what evening! Thanks to @harpsichris @miriamsoprano and our wonderful instrumentalists and vocal consort for bringing the music of Cozzolani to life!

Utterly brilliant concert tonight with @timeandtruthoxf @miriamsoprano @davidjdewinter exploring Cozzolani’s exquisite music. Time for a couple of days of fresh Suffolk sea air before some jazzy Italian concertos with @BojanCicic @AAMorchestra

This is going to be absolutely fantastic and I’m so excited to be doing this. All my favourite things about mid-seventeenth century Italian music wrapped into one - sensuous, luxurious, sonorous and above all, full of zip and life
We are getting really excited for this Saturday's concert, featuring the sublime music of #Cozzolani at @ChChCathedralOx. For more information and to book tickets visit: timeandtruth.co.uk/new-event…

An exciting, red score sort of day. The postman brought this beauty courtesy of @GarsingtonOpera which means it’s time to get stuck into Platée! A fun summer awaits.

Super-proud of my students @RBCEarlyMusic @RBCVocal who found so much joy, sadness, love and loss in our bumper celebration of the one and only Orpheus Brittanicus this evening.There really has been only one Purcell in a thousand years and these folk did him proud this evening

The most wonderful day coaching singers and continuo players in Oxford for @timeandtruthoxf with @harpsichris. Some classy music making, some impressive learning and the promise of a beautiful concert next month. Congrats and thanks to our super participants.

I’m going to have one more shout about this! Cozzolani is inspired. If you love Monteverdi and Cavalli church music and you don’t know Cozzolani, this is a must. Oh and plus @miriamsoprano and I make quite a double act! @timeandtruthoxf
Are you an Oxford based student vocalist or keyboard player? If so we want you to join us for an amazing opportunity to perform Cozzolani’s Vespers with IT&T, for more info click here timeandtruth.co.uk/cozzolani…
