So excited to see the 1st stages of (de)construction on the new site of the Dunard Centre - a new purpose-built concert hall, home to @SCOmusic and to all genres of music, art & education.
Honoured to be asked to “play out” the old building with 'Ae Fond Kiss' & other classics

Looking at Cipher, a voice-violin duo from Kate Soper's philosophy opera Ipsa Dixit! This sets text by Wittgenstein which questions the role of language, using vocal timbres, techniques, & microtones. Looking forward to working on this w/ @FeargusFiddle in the coming months!

Did you hear the @BBCSSO Mahler #4?
Such a special work, culminating in ‘The Heavenly Life’. David Zinman sums this work up here:

@stuart_macrae Hi Stuart!
Glad you found this little YouTube of your ‘The Lif of this World’!
Many people have been drawn to that little piece and its intimate sound!
Best wishes, Feargus

@christysnr @FaberMusic @FaberBooks Greatly appreciate your sharing this Christopher.
One of the best and most life changing experiences I’ve ever had was visiting Malvern and breathing in Elgar’s spirit. It’s a fair few miles drive down from Glasgow!!!!!!!

[Christopher Austin @christysnr]

@FeargusFiddle @FaberMusic @FaberBooks I think it’s around second hand. It’s a remarkable piece of writing about one of the major creative achievements of the last half century (imho). Tony was a fabulous writer about music :-)

[Feargus Hetherington @FeargusFiddle]

@Martn37492668 Brilliant! Thanks for sharing! I’d love to have sat with Wittgenstein and perhaps Arnold Schoenberg and Theodor Adorno

[Feargus Hetherington @FeargusFiddle]

Ludwig Wittgenstein said ‘Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by language’. And so…what is the battle that serious music forges?

[Opera Bohemia @OperaBohemia]
