All schools (including academies) required to follow the national curriculum - this means ALL schools must teach music. It’s a no-brainer, of course, but worth celebrating nonetheless. https://t.co/Vm6MRRvPWk

Did they make you play them? I once had to play my soprano saxophone in Istanbul Airport at 6.00 in the morning to prove it wasn't an offensive weapon. Although, to be fair, it was a sharp instrument...

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Why has no airport security scanner been devised to learn that bagpipes are not repeat not an offensive weapon? What is the point of AI if this simple thing cannot be done? Ps I am immune to all bagpipe jokes so don’t even bother. Very excited to be 🇩🇪 bound. Shock of the tournament day one

And maybe no Sky TV either...

@RussHepplewhite @AtholeStill Hope it goes well!

I'm thrilled to announce the launch of this exciting new course in the most beautiful setting. Email me at [email protected] to book or for any enquiries.

[Peter Nichols @PeterNichols6]

Really beautiful!

New video up on our @YouTube channel. The beautiful Arioso from Cantata BWV156 by #jsbach https://t.co/Z1xuRu0cmp #organ #cello #chambermusic

[Peter Nichols @PeterNichols6]

@sgtoyne I couldn't agree more. It has marginalised arts subjects beyond belief.

[Peter Nichols @PeterNichols6]

Happy New Year!

[Peter Nichols @PeterNichols6]

This was absolutely stunning. Congratulations to all involved! My personal highlights were the beautiful arias from @helencharlston and the gorgeous trumpet playing from Imogen Whitehead. This Mozart version is very rarely performed these days and is a work of genius in itself.

[Britten Sinfonia @BrittenSinfonia]

Our Handel-Mozart Messiah with @BBCSingers, recorded live last week at @BarbicanCentre, will be broadcast on @BBCRadio3 tonight!
🎧Listen in at 7:30pm

Absolutely right Simon!

Just on our way to see it. Very excited!

The Dante Project @RoyalOperaHouse - an extraordinarily inventive, vividly communicative score by Adès, allied to deeply thoughtful, moving design and choreography, and astonishing dancing!

[Peter Nichols @PeterNichols6]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

“Playing a musical instrument gives you skills for life. That’s why I passionately believe we need it back in our schools.” – Sir Keir Starmer

Join Moira Stuart this Sunday at 9pm on Classic FM, as she meets the Leader of the Labour Party. Listen on @GlobalPlayer.

...and Mozart wasn't too shabby in his final decade either...

[Peter Nichols @PeterNichols6]

And you can't even spell...

[Rt Hon Sir Grant Shapps @grantshapps]

Today we are saying no to @JustStop_Oil and their political wing the Labour Party 

We will power ahead with new oil and gas because it’s in the best interests of the British people, of our economy and of our national security

[Peter Nichols @PeterNichols6]

@bbcproms @helencharlston @RGCWbaritone @SampsonCarolyn @rowan_pierce @AJRStaples @SCOmusic @RoyalAlbertHall @BBCRadio3 A fabulous evening. Many congratulations to all involved. Simply stunning!

[David Ross @sgtoyne]

A political leader talking about the importance of music education in a knowledgeable, informed way. Hallelujah! 👏 @classicfm https://t.co/1Wjr4xzyt2

[Peter Nichols @PeterNichols6]

@sgtoyne Ironic given that ALW is doing his level best to scrap orchestras in the West End...

[Paul Carr (now over on Bluesky) @OrganistPaul]

The biggest scratch choir ever?
How much joy would there be if all schools had a Jacob Collier doing this sort of thing every morning? #choral #glastonbury2023 #singing
