URGENT! #MohammadGhobadlou & #MohammadBoroughani have been transferred to solitary confinement. Last time such warnings were given, the prisoners of conscience were murdered by sunrise.We must do everything in our power to prevent these executions! #IranRevoIution #mahsaami̇ni̇

My friend Suzy is encouraging UK citizens to take action against the oppression and executions in Iran. I’ve done it, solitary drop though it feels—but drops drops = ocean.
Watch,share & take 30 seconds & email MPs to Proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist organization & to Freeze assets held by IR senior officials #WomanLifeFreedom #Iran Click link,copy & paste. ONLY takes 30 seconds! docs.google.com/document/d/1… @ShappiKhorsandi @NazaninBoniadi

We ask MPs to sign the motion EDM 581 it calls for a) an investigative mechanism to be launched TODAY at the UNHRC special session on Iran (but the UK need to vote b) sanctions/travel ban against diplomats/lawmakers in Iran. #iran #IranRevolution #MahsaaAmini

Absolutely delighted that my friend & colleague Shohreh Shakoory has been awarded a Women Make Music grant from @PRSFoundation for Zal & the Phoenix. She is tireless, and I'm thrilled to see her work & vision recognised. #womenmakemusic #PRS #persianmusic #zalandthephoenix

Anyone wanting to remind themselves of what wonderful artists @SingforJoy3 & @stoutbaritone are, check out @joubertcomposer's masterpiece, Jane Eyre on @SOMMRecordings open.spotify.com/album/1kn5A…
Replying to @EnglishSymphony
@EnglishSymphony digital broadcast of Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle is free-to-view from 19:30 today; Conductor @kennethwoods commented: "..imagine the ending of Jane Eyre segueing into the beginning of Bluebeard.” Decide for yourself: eso.co.uk/bluebeard/ @BronteSoc @bronteblog

Bluebeard's Castle's "climactic moments only rarely dominate music that is (surprisingly?) well suited to reduction...an excellent conclusion to a worthwhile season of @EnglishSymphony online concerts" according to Richard Whitehouse @arcanafm @kennethwoods @youthESO @SingforJoy3

Read @cfmorley47's 5 star review of @EnglishSymphony's Bluebeard's Castle, conducted by @kennethwoods and featuring @SingforJoy3 and @stoutbaritone, for @MidlandsReviews. The performance is available to watch for free on the ESO website until 17th August. buff.ly/3yO1rXr

I love Bartok, and this opera. Absolutely gorgeous performance - singers and orchestra. Doors 4-5 are my 'tingle factor' test cases for any performances. I tingled. And the big burst of C major at the opening of Door 5 really hit the spot.

Does it make me happy to see our Bluebeard sandwiched between @SbgFestival & @BayreuthFest in todays @bachtrack newsletter? Yes, it does. Do I think @SingforJoy3 & @stoutbaritone & the ESO deserve to be there? Yes, I do! Tune in eso.co.uk/bluebeard/ createsend.com/t/d-976898C64…

"of the part she must play in the completion of a journey ... Rendered with vibrancy but no lack of finesse, this is a perceptive assumption, and one which Fredrick will hopefully be able to repeat on stage before too long. arcana.fm/2021/08/12/eso-blu…

"Why are you doing this?" "Because I love you." Bartók's dark, disturbingly erotic enigma, Bluebeard's Castle, intense and atmospheric from @EnglishSymphony and @kennethwoods on top form, superbly sung by @stoutbaritone and @SingforJoy3 in @WyastoneStudio. youtube.com/watch?v=xGfuRb78…

Fab review fr @cfmorley47 "@SingforJoy3 sings w/ intense involvement, nuancing her delivery to match every shift in Judith’s psyche.. @stoutbaritone is simply compelling & engrossing... attractive & tormented. At just over an hour this is an emotionally draining experience.
