My thanks to Patrick O’Donoghue and The Irish Times for this conversation on screen time, AI-created music, young composers, and the future of classical music.

At the heart of it is a question I care deeply about: how we keep young people listening, learning, and making music in an increasingly distracted world.

Draft came in the post from the printer today. A few corrections still to be made, but not many as far as I can see – things my 85-yr old eyes fail to notice on the computer screen, but usually see at once on a physical copy.

Meet Christopher Lowry, a prize-winning violist and composer, who will be performing my solo viola piece, "A Call from the Woods," this Sunday! The concert is free. Come hear the fatherly call, some Memphis fiddling and a freely improvised cadenza!

[Michael Hall, viola 🎻 @mhall_viola]

A reminder that there are world-class composers living and writing in SE Asia.

Seen here with Indonesian composer Sharon Hartanto. The world premiere of a piece she wrote for me. “Brownian Motion: Particles Under the Sun” first viola and piano.

Aux États-Unis, on le comparait à Leonard Bernstein : pianiste et compositeur, il avait la même passion pour la musique américaine et le même goût de la transmission. Michael Tilson Thomas, le plus grand chef américain de notre temps, est mort mercredi 22 avril à San Francisco. Il avait 81 ans ➡️ https://t.co/5bvU7AOPS7
