The BBC Singers provides our country with so much culture and heritage, being around since 1942. I think the BBC’s decision to scrap it will cause an upset to thousands of people, and today I asked for a debate on the future of classical music which is essential for mental health

"The BBC Singers are revered by composers and their audiences across the world for their excellence in new choral music of all kinds. They are a consistent beacon in the UK’s musical life..."

From the composers' letter sent to the BBC director general. https://twitter.com/EXAUDIensemble/status/1635192053922689024
