We are really looking forward to welcoming Brian Kay back to conduct our Nottingham Festival Chorus workshop this Saturday.  There are only a few spaces left for this marvellous opportunity to explore Bob Chilcott’s Dances of Time, George Dyson’s Three Songs of Praise and Vaughan Williams’ Linden Lea.

Has this weekend’s marathon coverage inspired you to get active? If, like me, you’re a lifelong gym-avoider, perhaps these tunes chosen by ClassicFM will be the motivation you need to get moving!

And if high-octane cardio is not your thing, how about a bit of Erik Satie while you practice your downward dog, or some gentle stretches to one of Chopin’s Nocturnes?

  • Research has shown that ‘Gonna Fly Now’ – the theme from Rocky – has proven to be a popular choice when exercising and helps motivate runners! Our young Bandwise and Stringwise players will be performing a special arrangement of this tune in the next Big Youth Music Experience concert in November! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioE_O7Lm0I4

Have a good week!

Your friends at MfE.

Things are a littler quieter this week as it’s the half term holiday – all regular rehearsing groups are having a break, it’ll be back to business as normal next week!

Preparations are underway for our next concert, a Jubilee Celebration with the Nottingham Festival Chorus and Concert Orchestra. Filled with music for royal occasions, this concert is on Sunday 26th June, 3.30pm at the Albert Hall, Nottingham. Tickets are now on sale! https://www.music-for-everyone.org/event/jubilee-celebration-concert/


With all the excitement around Nottingham Forest this week (ask the football fans!) you may have forgotten that this week is the celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!

There is so much music to choose from to celebrate these royal occasions that we didn’t know where to start! Thankfully, Classic FM have done the hard work for us and put together a list of the top 15 for the Platinum Jubilee, guaranteed to not just motivate your Monday, but take you all the way through the Bank Holiday weekend… enjoy: https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/best-platinum-jubilee-classical-music/

We particularly like the new commission by Thomas Hewitt Jones, especially for the Platinum Jubilee (no.14 on the list) ‘In Our Service’ and Holst ‘I Vow to Thee My Country’ (no.1 on the list) Which is your favourite?



Have a good week!
