Ed Sheeran recently shared an open letter to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer calling for funding of music education in schools, and on Monday he demonstrated in real life why that’s a good thing.

According to the BBC, Ed performed with the orchestra of Thomas Mills High School — his alma mater — at a gala concert celebrating the school’s 45th anniversary. Ed and the orchestra performed his song “Perfect Symphony,” which was a reworking of his hit “Perfect.” 

The school’s head teacher, Philip Hurst, supported Ed’s letter. According to the BBC, he said at the event, “I think music education is in a dire state and honestly, we should be saying, ‘How can every student in this country experience what we’ve managed to experience tonight?'”

In other Ed Sheeran news, Ipswich, Massachusetts — the sister town of Ed’s hometown of Ipswich, England — will host Ed’s new pop-up experience, The Old Phone Pub. It’s named after “Old Phone,” a song on Ed’s upcoming album.

The pub is set to open on Friday, but there’s no address listed. However, North Shore magazine reports the town’s select board approved a “one-day wine and malt” application and a “weekday entertainment license” for that date at the city’s Old Mill building.
