Hi friends—a very late rundown of January!
Kicked off the new year with another fresh portrait by Monika Mabiki and a teaser of a few engagements coming down the pipeline I can’t wait to talk about soon..
In short though, have spent the year so far deep in self-producing mode for Ruthless Jabiru’s April collaboration with Ensemble Offspring. If you were wondering who’s crazy enough to dream up and deliver orchestral projects from a tiny canalboat for 15 years:
and for those of you within reach of London.. we’ve just gone live with the date! Lock Friday 24 April in your diaries and signup to the waitlist for tickets
Huge thanks to those of you who’ve contributed to Ruthless Jabiru’s 15th anniversary Crowdfunder in recent weeks.. your support is what makes our ambition possible! A reminder we’re still shooting for our goal of 400 supporters and you can add yourself to the count with a single pound in solidarity with everything the orchestra represents for socially-engaged programming, composer advocacy and imaginative approaches to orchestral performance

Meanwhile.. creativity journals are back!
Manuscript has been especially popular or there’s blank and grid options (my personal favourite) for the slate best suited to your creative flow.
