🌱 Last Sunday we premiered @nomrik 's Ladies in Bloomers - a powerful new commission from our Writing the Future scheme inspired by Fiona Davison’s An Almost Impossible Thing. Performed by the London Sinfonietta, @exaudivocal , conductor @ellie.slorach and live gardeners from @globalgeneration 's Story Garden, the night became a moving celebration of resilience, history, and nature. Thank you to everyone who braved the weather and made this sold-out performance unforgettable! 🌸 📸 @msj_photos
