Thank you, Simon. This means a lot from someone who does such inspiring work himself! ❤️

Essential reading - @Paul_McCreesh’s support for music in state schools (actually getting out there and doing it, rather than pontificating) means so much. And this is spot on ⬇️

Absolutely fabulous evening… so, so proud of you all @HullPhilO and of course to the man himself @matt_coleridge for composing such a wonderful, wonderful piece of music!! #conductorslife

What a fantastic performance at #BeverleyMinster, when over 100 singers joined to perform Matthew Coleridge’s Requiem. We are proud of the group of HPO #stringplayers led by our own MD @TheChalkmeister, who provided the orchestral accompaniment. Congratulations to all involved!
