Thrilled to hear @TsoySamson and @pkkolesnikov piano duo @wigmore_hall concert again! Ive been thinking about it since the performance and I wish I could get a recording.
What did Shakespeare actually do when he was in quarantine from the plague? Did he really write King Lear & what can it teach us about living with pandemics? Find out in this week's #OxfordatHome live talk/Q&A with Professor Smith - live today at 3:15pm: https://t.co/6rimeNMF4S
I'm looking forward to weekend 2 of #bachmarathon. The first two days were outstanding! Fantastic performances and fascinating talks. Thank you @bachleipzig!
This week's final lunchtime concert!
Join @pkkolesnikov and @samson for a programme of piano four hands.

🎆 On #VictoriaDay, safely enjoy the fireworks with a painting from Molly Lamb Bobak, an artist celebrated for her unique ability to capture the vibrant energy of the collective. From all of us at ACI, we wish you a safe and happy #holiday Monday! https://t.co/umYL1WT1j0
My good friend Ben Hymas has an incredible pure and musical tenor voice. (His is the voice you hear on the VC6 tenor guide track). He and @stileantico have created this astonishing recording of Thomas Tallis's 40 part motet Spem in Alium. https://t.co/oUPE9OPL0M
Flashy hand-crossing in the “Giga" from #Bach’s Partita No. 1 in Bb+. Drove neighbours crazy trying to get perfect version in one take! Finally gave up. If you want that you can hear it on my CD @hyperionrecords (the 2nd last CD made on smashed up Fazioli). Bach showing off.
#ShakespeareDay No quotation is as inspiring as the Bard’s bio today.
🔹1593 plague➡️Theatres closed➡️Quarantined Shakespeare wrote some of his best poems
🔹1603 plague➡️Theatres closed➡️On their reopening, he soon put on #Othello, #KingLear, #Macbeth, #AntonyandCleopatra...💪🏻
Tomorrow would be Shakespeare’s 456th Birthday and we’re celebrating him by launching a series where we nod to the Bard in our daily lives, quarantine-style. Keep a eye on our page for more tomorrow! #artathome#myshakespeare#bardbday
