Here’s a joke for you @yolandabrown .

What do English teachers call Santa’s little helpers?

Subordinate Clauses

It’s #trainlesstuesday at Thorpe Park.

Oh what a night! Fab to see @ScottsPark_Sch, part of @orion_education, at the @OfficialBYMT School Proms at @FairfieldHalls in Croydon this week with @alexjackman. Wonderful performance as an orchestra and as part of the massed choir! #AnOrchestraInEverySchool

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

Great to see and hear young musicians from @ScottsPark_Sch performing this morning at the Bromley Music Festival with their Director @alexjackman. Thrilled to take away a trophy and see the smiles and sense of achievement. One reason why there should be #AnOrchestraInEverySchool

Please listen, like and subscribe to Pitch Me Classical the new podcast from @LPOrchestra. Every fortnight @yolandabrown and LPO musicians unpack classical music conundrums or cliches. We start with Mozart. Is he the classical GOAT? https://t.co/iLhjLzegP0

@rachleachmusic @LPOrchestra You missed out Bivaldi! Cracking concert as ever, with my annual reminder of the meaning of the word conjunct!

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

Honestly feeling that I have no need to hear Tchaik 6 again for at least a decade after tonight’s effort by @LPOrchestra with @kcanellakis. I have heard it done very well in this hall before but that was mind-blowing. A word too for quicksilver Beethoven by @vadymkholodenko

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

@LPChoir turns out you slay just as much as @LPOrchestra. Slay bells! Wonderful Brat-maninoff tonight.

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

@sgtoyne @lisanandy Lovely words. Let’s see how much of the income raised through levying VAT on, say, independent choir schools is ploughed into the development of equivalent levels of student and teacher expertise in the arts within the state sector.

Fun-guys to be with…At eye level with the mushrooms at the @RoyalAlbertHall for the tutti for tonight’s @bbcproms concert with @LPOrchestra, @LPChoir and @RodolfusChoir

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

It’s another day on the Busoni piano concerto rock ‘n’ roll tour. Yesterday Maida Vale, today @FairfieldHalls Croydon, tomorrow @RoyalAlbertHall with @LPOrchestra @LPChoir. Ten minutes in and we’ve just about reached the end of the orchestral introduction…

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

@scottygb Oh give them a chance. They’re used to just raising a white flag without the five rings on it…

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

‘Peter Grimes changed my life’ says @RhonddaBryant at @UK_Music summer party. A politician who both attends cultural AND talks about it - and affirms the value of creative education. Good to see @yolandabrown @Philip_Flood @DavidWooding @jnjokugoodwin @Emily_Benn @ZoeFranklinLD

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

@QuireMemes It’s a shame the pitch is so poor.

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

Take a bow! @echo_vocal tore it up this lunchtime on their @wigmore_hall debut. So many sounds, textures, great choral singing and beautiful individual voices. The good news is you can hear it too on their first album, Innocence. Get it here. https://t.co/IM0ZKUfTNM

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

@owainpark @TrinityCroydon It’s a great piece. Enjoyed singing it and spot on for that moment.

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

@TrinityBoysChoi @stmichaelsc1 Tasty repertoire by the sound of it. Might just be worth missing Italy v Switzerland for!

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

@DavidBurgessFR It is important to recognise that it has made the right move to a better place.

[Nick Jackman @JackNickman]

@QuireMemes Avox dicentis. Ah, the irony…
