Loving Bill Bailey tonight at Leeds Arena - what a legend!!! Every music teacher on the land needs to see this

Year 11 parents evening tonight. 3hr40mins non-stop conversation. It was wonderful!!! What a privilege to support these young people together and to have these ‘wider team’ meetings to create the very best support we can. #CanDoMusic Manor CE Academy Hope Sentamu Learning Trust

Love this. A moment a whole community and many visitors to York Minster were inspired by a wonderful year 11 voice. Incredible power, musicianship, expression, passion, determination and that ‘extra’ of which there are no words #ManorMusicCity #CanDoMusic

A huge thank you to everyone attended yesterday's Christmas Choir Service

Congratulations to all involved in making it such a special occasion 🙌🤩

Tonight’s venue 🤩

We’re here for a very special evening with Manor CE Academy at York Minster

Manor CE Academy ManorPerformingArts Hope Sentamu Learning Trust York Minster Thank you for a wonderful evening. The soloists, choirs, band, orchestra and readers were AMAZING! Huge thanks to Mr Lowe and team for all their hard work and for giving our young people such wonderful opportunities ❤️🎵🎄

So good to be back together with Josh - one of our founding student worship band leaders now doing great work at York Minster Manor CE Academy York Minster Hope Sentamu Learning Trust

Huge congratulations to everyone involved in the Manor CE Academy carol service at York Minster. It was brilliant and as ever has got the festive season off to a great start. Music and performances were amazing. Well done Dave Lowe and Mr Starkie!

It’s one of my favourite things to set up York Minster the night before their special Carol service. 11pm is quite early for our team - every moment worth it so it’s ready for them. It’s going to be quite a worship band - 45-piece orchestra, x2 drummers, x7 pianos x3 bass etc

So much looking forward to leading again at York Minster tomorrow night. This year, 150 amazing people will lead with me, some who ‘can’t sing’, some who only started to learn to play a few weeks ago. It’s going to be a special time. #CanDoMusic

So welcome Helen Tomlin - it was such a privilege to work with Harry. His leadership in boy’s singing has created strong foundations in our school community for the future. His service to others in the Covid Virtual choirs and Gabrieli other great moments Hope Sentamu Learning Trust

A few more pics from Durham Cathedral today. Spectacular even before Lumiere Durham was switched on

Enjoying some peaceful time-out Durham Cathedral before next week’s massive service York Minster It’s good to stop and reflect. Next week is going to be epic

Just the most wonderful community choir rehearsal tonight Hope Sentamu Learning Trust - their ‘sound’ is rich in so many ways. Privilege to just be there with you. If you want to hear them sing, as well as our 47-piece concert orchestra and much much more come down York Minster 28/11 7.30pm
