I like these minuets by Maria Szymanowska so much, I’ve done another one! Following on from 1, 2 & 4 … here’s number 6, arranged for two violins. Download the sheets in the sheet shop! https://t.co/7zaU4Rufz5

Boris Johnson has resigned as an MP after the Privileges committee found him to have misled parliament.

The law is finally catching up with the wise guys of the Tory party.

[BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus @BBCSO]

A warm welcome to three wonderful new musicians who joined the orchestra today; principal oboe Tom Blomfield, 2nd clarinet Jonathan Parkin and 2nd bassoon Graham Hobbs 🎶

[Sir Bob Neill KC (Hon) @neill_bob]

Pleased to be able to speak in @BambosMP's important debate on funding and support for classical music last night. It was a good opportunity to highlight the pressure many creative professionals are under and wider concerns around some of the funding cuts announced by ACE.

Good that my friend @SDoughtyMP just mentioned the cuts to @bbcsingers and the cuts to the BBC orchestras @BBCPhilharmonic @BBCSO @BBCCO when talking about Creative Industries #Budgetdebate #WeAreTheBBCSingers

RETURN OF THE JEDI artwork by Christopher Evans. Did you realise it's a matte painting?

[Naomi Pohl @NaomiPohl]

As each day passes, more support lines up behind the @BBCSingers @BBCCO @BBCSO & @BBCPhilharmonic. The entire classical music community from conductors & soloists to composers & music publishers want the proposals to cut them scrapped. 🧵👇

Composers have now added their voices to those condemning the proposed closure of the 99-year-old BBC choir, the BBC Singers.

This letter from the co-directors of @BBCSingers to BBC is absolutely extraordinary: an angry attack on certain (named) execs and BBC bosses for a total failure in planning, professionalism and simple human decency. Huge. #bbc #BBCSingers
