Two masterpieces premiered otd: Haydn's The Creation (1799) and Dvorak's cello concerto (1896). I've always felt that Haydn & Dvorak must be sitting in heaven together - so much in common! Folk-like simplicity, astonishing originality, life-affirming good-heartedness - and genius

@SarahR_Oceans @UOP_SEGG @UopEnvsci @portsmouthuni We're looking forward to the return of the #musictour which is a superb way to extend students learning and promote the university abroad. Here's a pic from a full house concert we had in Blanes, Spain which was also covered in the local media.

@marymaryw @portsmouthuni A beautiful day. Hopefully there are many would be singers and musicians among the hopefuls.

Ok music fans, where am I for research today?

[Dougie Scarfe @dougiescarfe]

Wonderfully appropriate that first orchestral music to be played in the stunningly refurb @HallforCornwall is @BSOrchestra playing Arnold Bax’s #Tintagel, a work which incidentally we gave the world premiere in 1921.
Marvellous to be back in #Cornwall with the full orchestra 😍

Composer Niels Gade was born on this very day back in 1817

He was one of the leading Danish composers of the nineteenth century and we are pleased to publish the Complete Edition of his works which you can read about here https://t.co/6wNAXRPgDk

Musical wisdom from Andres Segovia (b otd 1893):

The guitar is a small orchestra...Every string is a different colour, a different voice.
The piano is a monster that screams when you touch its teeth.
Lean your body forward.. the poetry of the music should resound in your heart.

Last night's concert by the Prazak Quartet was brilliant! Unusual to hear Schulhoff, a composer hardly known, but what a fascinating piece.

Absolutely fabulous organisation. In 2014 I saw an ad on social media; I applied! I haven’t looked back and I’ve made brilliant friends, travelled across the UK and worked with a phenomenally talented bunch of folk! Amazing opportunities! #nycgb #thisischoir
