This was an appalling act of violence against someone who has contributed so much to our national life.

These are very concerning developments and the police must be given the resources and space they need so justice can be done as quickly as possible.

My thoughts go out to Ann’s friends and family and all who loved her.

“Music belongs to everyone. Not just those whose parents can afford lessons.” Powerful words from the Culture Secretary @lisanandy at the @UK_Music summer party. Let’s hope it’s matched by actions, so all children can be given the opportunity to belong, to thrive, and to shine.

A message for anyone who needs to be in touch. Many thanks.

Last night at King’s. Sad as I will be to conduct the final cadence tomorrow, they’re ready for a well deserved break and so am I! It’s been a total pleasure.

@MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 You were brilliant in spite of all that travail, Georgia. I listened on my way to take the choristers at King’s where I’m spending a term. @BBCRadio3 my lifeline between rehearsals and services.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the world-renowned soprano Dame Felicity Lott.

It was a privilege to welcome Dame Felicity to the Charles Wood International Song Competition in 2022, and we are honoured that our annual Dame Felicity Lott Song Prize continues in her name.

Her contribution to the world of music and song was immense, and she will be remembered with enormous affection and admiration.

Our thoughts are with her family, friends and all those whose lives she touched through her music.

[David Hill @davidhconductor]

Completely devastated by the passing of Dame Felicity Lott. One of the greatest singers of her generation, a good friend and VP of The Bach Choir. Such a self-effacing, truly humble person with extraordinary skills. She will be so missed by us all. Mag she RIP

[David Hill @davidhconductor]

@BBCSteveR A brilliant and really informative piece, Steve. Thank you. Happy memories of us working together with the BBC Singers.

[Sam Jackson @classicjacko]

He collects music. He worked with Stravinsky and Britten. And he loved listening to Mahler while filming on the Galápagos Islands. All day today @BBCRadio3, we celebrate the musical side of this wonderful centenarian. Happy birthday, Sir David 🥳 🎶

[Steven Isserlis @StevenIsserlis]

Sad news of the passing of Michael Tilson Thomas - a major figure in American music, and a huge influence on so many young musicians. He will be missed (as is his husband Joshua). Thank you both for everything.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been formally nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026.

Retweet if you believe Zelenskyy deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
