It’s a special joy to be here this week playing Brahms 2 with the @UlsterOrchestra My concert here in 1979 was my first ever trip overseas. A prop plane from Liverpool with my dad. We lit up cigarettes as the wheels left the ground. #I’mOlderThanILook

[Richard Wigley @WigleyArts]

[Education NI @Education_NI]

Education Minister @MMcIlveenDUP today met @UlsterOrchestra CEO Richard Wigley and team at their new facility in Townsend Street Church, to discuss the Orchestra’s ‘Crescendo’ project.

The scheme helps with tackling educational underachievement in schools through music.

[James MacMillan @jamesmacm]

I was deeply honoured to be invited to write a new anthem 'Who Shall Separate Us?' for the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She was a constant presence in my life and an inspiration to countless millions across the globe.

[Beyond Skin @BeyondSkin]

A big thank you to our friends @NIOpera for inviting 40 people currently seeking asylum to see "La Traviata" @gohbelfast
Everyone had an amazing time and total escapism from their struggles. It is what the #Arts do best.

Some of our team are currently enjoying a lovely night down at the Waterfront Hall for 'The Belfast Mixtape' this evening, where the @UlsterOrchestra are playing a concert of meaningful songs from lockdown selected by keyworkers from across Belfast, including ourselves!🎶

[Mark Adair @adair_mark]

A big Belfast night for the NHS, BCC and the BBC… Freedom of the City of Belfast for all Frontline Workers. And how good to have ⁦@UlsterOrchestra⁩ at the musical heart of it all. Humbling and brilliant.
