We were wowed by @errollynwallen.bsky.social's work, The Elements, at the First Night of the #BBCProms - especially after @benenglandbem.bsky.social's recent, fascinating lecture series taught us all about The Elements of Music. It's still available - don't miss it! choirlibrary.com/memberships-...

Choir of the Earth Events and Choir of the Earth Library present Around Sound Lectures now available on choirlibrary.com. A hand from the left holds a smartphone with "The Elements of Music" course image on the screen, while a hand from the right holds a smartphone with "Around Sound: The Evolution of Classical Music" course image on the screen. Testimonials read, "Entertaining, inspirational and informative. Can't wait for the next course!" and "I learned more about music in this course than throughout my entire school career - thank you so much!". Halfway up on the right of the image is a QR code that leads to the same url as in the post.

He is conducting a room full of male and female adult choral singers and stands alongside four soloists: Soprano Claire Ward, Alto Eve Doyle, Tenor Samir Savant and Bass Alexander Learmonth. In the corner George Bevan accompanies on the piano. The photos were taken at Choir of the Earth Events' Come and Sing Haydn's Nelson Mass event on Sunday 16 February 2025 at the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution.

Thought-provoking article from @johnharris1969.bsky.social @theguardian.com: "When you attend your local choir or yoga class, just stop and think - where are the disabled adults?" Online choirs provide disabled adults with health benefits, social connection and lifelong education on their own terms.

Shut away and ignored: thousands of disabled adults are at the frontier of the human rights struggle | John Harris

When you attend your local choir or yoga class, just stop and think – where are the disabled adults, asks Guardian columnist John Harris
