Whatever your politics, this is such a lovely, genuine exchange.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

They'll tell you voting doesn't make a difference.

But it was a Labour Government that changed my life.

If you want change, vote for it on Thursday.

[Alexandra Lewis @ahclewis]

@exitthelemming I'm not sure I'd find an easy disagreement there, either, and it's leaving a lot of people feeling totally disconnected from the political system.

[Alexandra Lewis @ahclewis]

@penepatitenor @TheCBSO Thank you for breathing life into this character for us this weekend! It's always a joy to sing with you!

[Alex Taylor @AlexTaylorNews]

8 yrs ago today so many old British people were selfish and delusional, so many young (those who the very next day would be googling "what is the EU?") couldn't be bothered to vote

while this year so many Georgians, Ukrainians etc would give anything to have what we threw away👇

I accidentally co-ordinated my carol book with my takeaway cup this morning. So here goes:

Carol books as takeaway coffee cups, a thread.

@Jenni_France @TheCBSO @CBSOChorus @CBSOYouthChorus @fatboyclayton @dovecomposer It was such a joy to have you singing with us again - thank you for sharing this special evening with us! You and @fatboyclayton took my appreciation for @dovecomposer to a whole new level!

[Alexandra Lewis @ahclewis]

Such a phenomenal opportunity for young singers in and around #Birmingham

[CBSO @TheCBSO]

Our city is a singing city. Come and sing with us!
We're looking for passionate young musicians to join our Children's Chorus and Youth Chorus.

Gorgeous sounds on @BBCRadio3 breakfast this morning - my mum is reminded of Valerie Masterson's appearance at Holt Hill Convent school, Birkenhead in July 76 - Creation complete with apocalyptic thunder from outside! Thank you @PetrocTrelawny!

@edbrown_82 As much as I love the new library, this building was iconic, and holds a special place in my heart! What a fabulous image!

[Vaughan Fleischfresser @VFleischfresser]

We celebrate with music. We mourn with music. We party with music. We reflect with music. We learn with music. We comfort with music. We excite with music. We dance with music. We dream with music. We connect with music. We express with music. So much of life is done with music.

[Alexandra Lewis @ahclewis]

In the opening week of the largest, perhaps the most well-known, classical music festival in the world, it is so sad that this statement is needed. The systemic deconstruction of the arts in this country must stop! Thank you @MusicHigherEd for putting this so eloquently!

[MusicHE @MusicHigherEd]

It's been an interesting day. We will build a better future without caps or cuts to aspiration and opportunity.

[BBC Proms @bbcproms]

Vivaldi's The Four Seasons with folk music improvisations.

Enjoy @pekka_kuusisto, Ale Carr and @DKAMbremen's interpretation on @BBCiPlayer

[Alexandra Lewis @ahclewis]

Blown away by tonight's broadcast of @pekka_kuusisto 's Prom with @DKAMbremen - genius interpretation by all involved but particularly loving the clear chemistry between small ensembles within the whole! Thank you again @bbcproms!

[Alexandra Lewis @ahclewis]

Some glorious sounds from all involved so far! Glorious to hear the 2023 #FNotP sounding so busy!

[BBC Proms @bbcproms]

By the next Coronation, nobody will raise an eyebrow at girl choristers singing at a Coronation but, for this one, it is A Significant Thing, and rightly to be celebrated.

*** STOP PRESS ***

They have just released a NEW *NEW* set of VIVATS today.

[Alexandra Lewis @ahclewis]

It's been a while since I've been in fits of giggles in the middle of a concert but tonight @TheCBSO, I w/ many @CBSOChorus colleagues were in hysterics. Thank you, Birmingham, for a very memorable evening!

[Alexandra Lewis @ahclewis]

This might be one for the @CBSOChorus archive!

[Andy @andythebaggie]

@TheCBSO What a night, proper party atmosphere 🎼🥳

@SoVeryBritish Because they noticed their neighbour walking towards them and desperately wanted to avoid another conversation about "those people" at house number 13
