King Charles has appointed Errollyn Wallen CBE, 66, as the new Master of the King's Music, succeeding Dame Judith Weir DBE. Wallen, renowned for her work on the 2012 Paralympics and the 2021 COP26 summit, is the first black woman to hold this honorary role. She expressed her honor and excitement in serving the King, the UK, and the Commonwealth. The position, created during King Charles I's reign, often involves composing music for royal events. Wallen, who has received significant honors for her contributions to music, will hold the role for a ten-year term.
