If you need to submit items in an alternative format, to make the process more accessible, please get in touch so we can accommodate you.

We are delighted and honoured to announce our new Musical Director: Ben Lunn - Composer and Conductor. Among his many talents Ben studied music in Lithuania, and we're looking forward to sharing our experiences, singing together, and bringing you music from many parts of Eastern Europe 'from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea.'

About Ben:

‘BEN LUNN puts his beloved birthplace Sunderland on the musical map’ – Linton Stephens, BBC Radio 3

‘His work extends the palette of sounds that can be brought into contemporary classical music, redefining both modern composition and concert-hall inclusion.’ – Alan Morrison, Rhinegold.co.uk

'Ben Lunn has forged himself a unique position within the new music landscape. As a composer, Lunn’s music reflects the material world around him, connecting to his North-Eastern heritage or how disability impacts the world around him or his working-class upbringing. Alongside this, he has become renowned for his championship of others, which have seen him creating unique collaborations with musicians from across the globe and developing unique concert experiences and opportunities for others.'

You can find him on Instagram at

Congratulations, Ben!
