- You have until the end of today to nominate us for this special draw. We'd be so grateful if you could. And once you've done that, you could nominate us for the £1000 draw. It's simple and super quick and it doesn't matter where you are in the world. 😍 culture.movementforgood.com/index.php?cn...
- Woohoo! We made the cut! Listen again to our segment on Woman’s Hour at 4pm today on Weekend Woman’s Hour #nuntastic www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

- If you have been enjoying Musica Secreta on the radio this week, why not nominate us for a £5000 draw? We'd be so grateful. It takes seconds, you don't need to be in the UK, and we could really use the money to do more great things. 🥰 culture.movementforgood.com/index.php?cn...
- We're delighted that Georgia Mann chose the Magnificat for her #Radio3 Essential Classics Album of the Week segment yesterday. It's "holy/holey" in all senses (Laurie had to reconstruct a lot of missing notes), and it was lovely to hear so much chant! Can't wait to hear what she will feature today.

- Well, yesterday was a lot of fun! Listen again here. A few audible gasps when Petroc Trelawney announced that Ricordanze will be Album of the Week on Essential Classics next week, plus a fair helping of muffled and not so muffled giggles. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
- There was much giggling off mic, mostly because of @emilyscartoons.bsky.social . We did, in fact, have a brief “quaaaa”

- 2 more days of our crowdfunder to go, and today's MiniMotet-based-on-a-well-known-tune is one for all the #Monteverdi fans. To paraphrase, sure he was great, but nuns did it all in wimples and chronically sleep-deprived. #nuntastic #earlymodern #GirlsGotPolyphony 1/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf-r...
