I think pretty much everyone reading this can agree that the United Kingdom’s Brexit negotiations were not safe in @DavidGHFrost ‘s hands.

[David Frost @DavidGHFrost]

Two of these concerts shouldn't be in the Proms at all.

The @bbcproms are not safe in the BBC's hands.

@nfmusic @jeremydenk You’re all forgetting Krenek’s Karl V

Now I never knew this @auroraorchestra being a week older than @YouTube makes me feel a little….old

[Richard Gowers @RichardGowers]

@nicholascollon @auroraorchestra Congratulations Nick! You’re one week older than YouTube, it turns out.

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY to @auroraorchestra !!! 😌🎉🥳 I had no clue of course that our first concert back in 2005 would be the beginning of something that would still be here today. So many amazing memories. So many people to be grateful to. Here’s to another 20!

[Nicholas Collon @nicholascollon]

So many treasures to see at Ainola, the house for 50 years of Jean and Aino Sibelius. And I was allowed to rummage around upstairs(!) - amused to see a score of Walton’s opera on his shelf. I’m not sure he opened it many times. Many scores of Bach and Beethoven however…

this is why we need the department of education😭

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

[Nicholas Collon @nicholascollon]

For those within the EU (!) I’ve made a 5-part TV documentary: conversations with Finnish conductors about…. conducting. 😊The wonderful #PekkaKuusisto @DaliaStasevska @MalkkiConductor @esapekkasalonen @hlintu were brilliant. https://t.co/oUx94Bsv6a

@nicomuhly But in toto one of the best sounding KC Choirs for years.

[Nicholas Collon @nicholascollon]

@nicomuhly Not happy about that

[Nicholas Collon @nicholascollon]

Tonight 7pm @BBCFourTV a repeat from 2012 of @auroraorchestra ‘s @bbcproms with #WallaceandGromit . I even got to have a telephone chat with Wallace. Nice chap

[Nicholas Collon @nicholascollon]

Whhhhaaaattttt?! This is pushing my mental acuity

[Nicholas Collon @nicholascollon]

@tapio_bergholm @Yle_Rso Yes…I guess the live performing element
is what makes this unique?

[Nicholas Collon @nicholascollon]

The remarkable Herbert Blomstedt conducting the wonderful @Yle_Rso in Mahler 9 this week. Is there any other profession where a 97-year old can share their experience and knowledge in such an enriching way? https://t.co/GQrEXwDpBV

[Nicholas Collon @nicholascollon]

@JeremyPound71 @Yle_Rso Yes indeed. I guess the live element makes it pretty unique?
