ISM What have we done to our children if we take music, singing and learning an instrument from them? Instead force all children to do maths until A level?? It is tragic the effect it will have on a whole generation of childrenβsβ mental health. Dame Sarah Connolly Nicholas Daniel OBE πΊπ¦π³οΈββ§οΈ Tulip Siddiq
Becoming a habit: from the erotic masterpiece Black Narcissus to Muriel Sparkβs wicked The Abbess of Crewe via Poulencβs operatic masterpiece, nuns are everywhere. Here I am with Samira Ahmed on a whistlestop guide to nuns in culture.

The chorus and orchestra of any opera company ARE the company. Theyβre the beating heart that keeps the whole thing going. If either of these are cut an opera company merely becomes an arts administration that happens to put on a few operas. Devastating news from English National Opera β€οΈ

After a great start to the season, forcing cuts at English National Opera feels like another insensitive and misinformed misfire by Arts Council England. Sending my colleagues English National Opera love and strength as they fight for their livelihoods once more.
Deeply concerned at the news that the English National Opera is planning to axe 19 musician jobs. The English National Opera does great work and its orchestra is brilliant. The blame for this must lie with Arts Council England which has imposed swinging funding cuts on the ENO. Disgraceful ISM
When I met with Arts Council England after the funding cuts were announced last year I said musicians would lose their jobs as a result of the cuts. They were dismissive and said musicians could get other jobs. Extraordinary response. Is Arts Council England fit for purpose? ISM
