🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Scottish Government is breaking its promise on arts funding, and trying to reimpose a £6.6 million cut to Creative Scotland. Scotland's arts and culture needs backing, not broken promises. Please join me in signing the @_CFTA petition. https://t.co/wceCiaAFTd

This is staggering from the Scottish government - please read and sign to support the arts in Scotland

OK. I’ll say this loudly for the people at the back: IT’S OK FOR A PERSON TO DISLIKE STUFF AND IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE THEM AN IGNORANT OR BAD PERSON.

The morning after the night before. That was one heck of an incredible Alpine Symphony from the @bay_staatsoper Orchestra and Vladimir Jurowski, who brings out the darkness in that piece so wonderfully. T back with them today to play Wagner, Schumann and Mahler 4 @BarbicanCentre

And this year, for the first time, we’ve introduced a category for children. Because why should grown-up composers have all the fun?!

[In Quires and Places Where They Meme @QuireMemes]

Vital research. 👇

[BBC Proms @bbcproms]

Dame Sheila Hancock tells us that classical music is one of the greatest comforts and joys of her life, and we couldn't agree more 🎶

As we near the end of the #BBCProms 2023 season, we're reflecting on a wonderful 8 weeks of classical music. What are your season highlights?

[Emma Gait @Emma_Gait]

Definitive ranking by effectiveness when used as a fan:
1. Cantique de Jean Racine (@OxUniPress edition)
2. Tambling congregational mass setting
3. Order of service
4. Psalter
5. Hymn book (0/10, do not recommend)
