Stunning concert from @BrittenSinfonia in @stedscath. Pärt, Shostakovich & Tavener have never sounded so fresh. Such visceral playing from all (especially soloists Zoë Beyers & Miranda Dale) with a fab new piece by @CherylHoad featuring glittering vibraphone from Owen Gunnell.

[Elizabeth Atherton @ElizAthertonSop]

Insanely amazing evening at the stunningly revamped @Bristol_Beacon with @BrittenSinfonia @christhile @suzie_collier & my complete idol @jacobcollier. 🌟

A totally joyous night of magical collaboration, invention & wonder. 🎶 Didn’t stop smiling all evening. 😊

Absolutely stunning concert from @BrittenSinfonia @ThomasGouldVLN and #MirandaDale @TheApexVenue. So much energy, vitality, emotion and flawless ensemble. One of the most exciting concerts I’ve ever been to. #livemusic @maxrichtermusic @SteveReich @philipglass

[Meurig Bowen @MeurigB]

@amwilson_opera Totally agree - it is a parallel universe, and quite disconcerting to witness at this 50 year remove. But a good few of them are shockingly pompous and pleased with themselves, and it’s good to know we’ve moved from on from all that - even if so much else has been lost too.

Mancunian fanboy moment: thanks to the backstage ⁦@DButcherHalle⁩ pass at ⁦@BridgewaterHall⁩, two Prog anoraks got to meet one of their non-classical heroes. Thanks @HackettOfficial for keeping the Genesis flame alive so brilliantly 50+ years on.

[Meurig Bowen @MeurigB]

Such good news, and well deserved. Lovely to be reminded just now on @BBCInTune how fresh and invigorating Pound of Cure is. Glad we had the mics up in Milton Court last October.

[Ryan Latimer @latimer_ryan]

Wahoo! Super happy to have been nominated for an Ivor Novello Award! 😄 Massive thanks to @IvorsAcademy / @PRSforMusic and of course to @BrittenSinfonia for their support and commissioning Pound of Cure 🧡 Big congrats to the other nominees too. 🙌 xx

[Royal Philharmonic Society @RoyalPhilSoc]

Otherworldly wonderfulness @BarbicanCentre care of the @willgregorymoog ensemble and @BrittenSinfonia - an orchestra that, facing tough cuts, is resiliently brimming with artistry and invention. They deserve our love and support.

[Opera Rara @OperaRara]

Corrie Hermann last heard her father play his cello 85 yrs ago: he was murdered by Nazis and his cello lost. After years searching, I’ve found his #cello. Today Corrie, 92, hears it for the first time since she was 7 yrs old! Listen at 1:53:17! @BBCr4today
