So enjoyed an out-of-season Messiah at the glorious Sheldonian Theatre this week - a pleasure to play for Adam Green and @nickmulroy again, not looking a minute older than our Cambridge undergrad days…

Love this moment - the hush in the hall before the audience is let in - prommers queuing round the hall outside. Nothing quite like the @bbcproms!

Barefoot rehearsals for #GuerreroBaroqueCollective’s recital today at #StBirinusFestival. And the heat brought a grass snake in to shelter by my cello case! 🐍🎻 We’re playing with sackbuts and cornets, and now a serpent!

Sad to leave Italy behind, but always lovely to come home and see what’s in flower. #OCLW

Stopping on the road to #Arezzo because…. a tortoise was crossing! The guy on the other side of the road is rescuing it. Wish I’d got there first - a pet #tortoise could have been fun. #OCLW
