In May 2017, he was invited to conduct the junior LSO Discovery Choir for the London Symphony Orchestra between September 2017 and Easter 2018, replacing Lucy Griffiths. Music and social activism Brough's musical work is often themed around the opportunity to raise awareness of social injustice or other political issues. His composition Ona’s Flood, written as a companion piece to Britten’s Noye's Fludde, draws centrally on themes of climate change. A Particulare Care, written in response to a moving exhibit at the Foundling Museum, highlights the plight of orphans and the increasing problem of homelessness. Other works also carry significant social themes: The Year of Jubilee (2013) tells the story of the Fisk Jubilee Singers in a dramatic and moving depiction of slavery in the American South, while Music on the Mind (2015) is based on themes of mental illness; its premiere featured a performance from the Mind and Soul Community Choir, based at the Maudsley Hospital.
