Bravo to the Four Hubs Orchestra who gave an outstanding performance last night at the @Bedfordcornexch under the baton of @HeskethMusic. Many thanks to the @BedsMusicTrust for organising this wonderful event and a huge well done to all of the performers and tutors involved!

@E_N_O A lovely man with an extraordinary mind. So sad to hear this news.

Anton BRUCKNER -born on this day 195 years ago

He would be proud to see his 7th Symphony performed with such emotion by 90 year old Bernard Haitink and @Vienna_Phil last night which was the first piece he conducted @bbcproms in 1966 and the last

Thank you for everything maestro

[Philip Hesketh @HeskethMusic]

A real pleasure. My welcome from @Trinity_Orch was a warm one, in all respects! I look forward to doing it again sometime. The playing was wonderful. Have a great summer break and good luck for the new season.

[Trinity Orch Harrow @Trinity_Orch]

Thanks to all who braved the heat for our season-closing Summer Concert yesterday ☀️ and to our brilliant Guest Conductor @HeskethMusic, pictured here taking a bow with the different orchestral sections 👏

[Philip Hesketh @HeskethMusic]

It's been a real pleasure. @StNicksKL is a wonderful venue and I shall always fondly remember my concerts there. Good luck for the future and keep up the great work.

[St Nicholas' Chapel @StNicksKL]

We have really enjoyed having Philippa, @HeskethMusic & @Clairina with us for the most fabulous @NSO_Norfolk concerts, best of luck all in your new ventures! 😇

[Philip Hesketh @HeskethMusic]

Looking forward to it.

[Trinity Orch Harrow @Trinity_Orch]

The different sections of Trinity Orchestra are showcased in our upcoming Summer Concert 🎻🎺🥁 We hope you can join us and Guest Conductor @HeskethMusic at @Trinity_Harrow on 29 June! https://t.co/Hj1ntp1AMO

[Salomon Orchestra @SalomonOrch]

A massive thanks to all our supporters for coming along tonight. Viennese romantic themes whirling round our heads! Also thanks to @HeskethMusic for wonderful leadership. 🎼

[Salomon Orchestra @SalomonOrch]

Still (just) time to come and join us for tonight’s Viennese extravaganza!

[Salomon Orchestra @SalomonOrch]

Tonight’s the night! We’re tempting you with Mahler but will knock your socks off with Zemlinsky’s Mermaid, definitely deserves more hearings. 7.30 @StJohnsSmithSq with @HeskethMusic

[Philip Hesketh @HeskethMusic]

Please come to SJSS for a banquet of the most romantic lushness of lush Romanticism. The orchestra is playing superbly. For those who enjoy vast, sweeping, dramatic and radiant music, The Mermaid is a piece you really need to meet. I promise a long and beautiful friendship.

[Salomon Orchestra @SalomonOrch]

Sunday dedication from Salomon in preparation for Tuesday’s lyrical luscious concert: join us and @HeskethMusic @StJohnsSmithSq at 7.30 for Mahler and Zemlinsky

[Trinity Orch Harrow @Trinity_Orch]

Happy birthday #Khachaturian, born #onthisday in 1903! We perform his wonderful Masquerade Suite under the baton of @HeskethMusic in our next concert, 29 June 🎭 https://t.co/Hj1ntp1AMO

[Salomon Orchestra @SalomonOrch]

We’ve been spending time working on Zemlinsky’s Mermaid- all the emotions of a spurned lover and some luscious melodies. Come and hear it on 11 June https://t.co/tVQ4W84pSn

[Philip Hesketh @HeskethMusic]

@MadeleineM_Vln @CityOfSotonOrch @romseyabbey It was, as always, a real pleasure to make music with you, @MadeleineM_Vln and @CityOfSotonOrch . @romseyabbey was so beautiful in the sunshine, too.

[Madeleine Mitchell @MadeleineM_Vln]

I’m delighted to learn this Suk Fantasie and to work with conductor @HeskethMusic and perform in beautiful @romseyabbey again. @DvorakSociety

[Diversity Choir @diversitychoir]

Thanks to @WestLondonSinf @HeskethMusic @IwonaBoesche @NadinBenjamin and everyone else who helped create a memorable Verdi Requiem experience on Saturday!

[London Symphony Orchestra @londonsymphony]

42 years ago today, John Williams and the LSO laid down the music that would become its calling card for the next 42 years. Star Wars: A New Hope changed the landscape of film music and large orchestral soundtracks, and cemented John Williams as part of the LSO family to this day

@fhvln @JKAConductor @jinglesperc @frasercontra @philbertpauken @lowriviolinist @bilboben @sarmstrongpiano @sianharrisonPA @Cigleris @stuart_macrae Standing where I was there was no cover to dive for! Anyway, the carefully cultivated imperturbable exterior wouldn’t long survive hysterics at loud bangs, however much I simply hate them and hate them!!Did wonder if I was on fire from the muzzle flash though...

[Philip Hesketh @HeskethMusic]

@fhvln @JKAConductor @jinglesperc @frasercontra @philbertpauken @lowriviolinist @bilboben @sarmstrongpiano @sianharrisonPA @Cigleris @stuart_macrae Somewhere in deepest Sunningdale. Best not to enquire further! Awesome job, by the way. Always such a pleasure.

[Philip Hesketh @HeskethMusic]

Such great singers and instrumentalists. And a fantastic production in a very small space. A real pleasure.

[Genevieve Raghu @GenevieveRaghu]

Team #LaBoheme - thanks to every one involved for making the last week so enjoyable. Feedback has been extremely rewarding! Congratulations all and I hope we’ll have a chance to revive and revisit this production again in the future!
