Presented to Trinity College by Anne Sadleir in the mid 17th century.
@MCaselyHayford @elirolfejohnson @BBCNews No, it is more than just “tongue in cheek” given the context & current climate: the cultural vandalism of the BBC cancelling @BBCSingers & slashing funding for BBC orchestras.

@owenpiano@houghhough Absolutely magnificent! Fascinating footage and beautiful playing. (I loved Sir Stephen’s admission that he had looked up the definition of Spianato the night before! An honest pianistic genius!) To hear you playing together at the end credits… a precious document!

I’ve finally got round to replacing the (bad) website I made while studying @RoyalAcadMusic. Huge thanks to @TateBritton for designing something so beautiful, and to @gerardcollett for all the photos. Check it out at https://t.co/dgQnl58Oer! 🥳🎹🎶❤️
A lovely programme on an important figure in musical life - the vital accompanist - or ‘collaborative pianist’. @BBCRadio3@BBCSounds https://t.co/erejrb3GvM
