The Electric Egg - 1938 prototype of an electric 'cyclecar' by Parisian industrial designer Paul Arzens. The bubble was made of plexiglass. Inside was only a seat, a steering wheel and a single pedal. It could drive up to 96 km (60 miles) on a single charge.
Tonight the @philharmonia is back at the @bbcproms, and so is the audience! I can only imagine the excitement after last year’s empty RAH.
Wish I could be on stage with my colleagues for a thrilling evening in company of @paavo_jarvi and Víkingur Ólafsson!
Finally reunited with my partners from @QuatuorVarese for the first live performance in nearly a year!
Can’t wait for Schubert’s Death and the Maiden and our first time playing the gorgeous op.41/2 from Schumann.
The castle of Solliès-Pont in South France is welcoming us!
@GramophoneMag has nominated @philharmonia for their Orchestra of the Year 2021!
Immensely proud of what the ensemble has achieved throughout this very challenging period.
