I can hear you but no one else and I am a listener not a speaker https://t.co/RKNJ3ub0EQ

Brilliant !!!!

He seems like a very happy old man looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!

March on Rome, the insurrection by which Benito Mussolini came to power in Italy in late October 1922. ... The March marked the beginning of fascist rule and meant the doom of the preceding parliamentary regimes of socialists and liberals. Alas no one learns from history

And so our young people will fall still further behind in learning foreign languages and about the riches of diversity in the world’s cultures - instead more inward looking little England thinking

What do we expect ? This government has no understanding that music and the arts are the sustaining root system which sustain our societies and encourage all of the best aspirations for young people around the world - and the withdrawal from Erasmus will do still more damage

[Sandra Roberts @SParrRoberts]

https://t.co/pXeW4le1Mp sadly not a surprise, but tragic news for musicians.

[Rach (Lizzy) Hynes @LaRadarina]

Why would you do a trade deal and call it a success when one of your biggest money making industries, the Arts, doesn’t even get a mention, and nothing is in the document to help artists from the U.K. or EU work with each other? 😳

Chiswick House Park crowded but 95% without masks - also in Chiswick streets can @BorisJohnson @MattHancock not understand that since extreme measures are already imposed mask wearing must be enforced in all public spaces and people will comply to save lives and shorten lockdown

[Hasan Patel @CorbynistaTeen]

Tory ministers saying “we owe it to children to keep schools open” might want to explain to me why they closed my youth centre, cut mental health services, underfunded my secondary school, stripped free school meals from my peers, tripled uni fees, demonised climate strikers...

We hear that over 1500 truck drivers have been stuck for two days without refreshment except a single energy snack bar - Shame on @pritipatel @grantshapps : is it difficult to organise delivery of a basic food and water parcel to stationary drivers ? Use the army or supermarkets

[Jasper Parrott @JasperParrott]

Congratulations to @BuniatishviliKh @marinalsop the musicians of @OrchestreParis and the courageous leadership of Laurent Bayle and all of his colleagues at @philharmonie - we need such concerts so badly in London

[Orchestre de Paris @OrchestreParis]

Heureux de vous retrouver ! @philharmonie
1er concert de la saison : tonnerre d'applaudissements pour @BuniatishviliKh et @marinalsop.

@BorisJohnson & @OliverDowden love #RuleBritannia but not so keen on other Rules even of their own making. Tidying up inconvenient laws is what the Chinese do in HK & the Russians did in Ukraine, Syria or Crimea. #Perfidious Albion #UKpolitics #UKGovernment ?

[Jasper Parrott @JasperParrott]

Very shocking and worrying - this is the beginning of the pathway Viktor Orban has laid out and followed ....

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

The UK government has been formally warned for threatening press freedom by the Council of Europe which monitors human rights, democracy and the rule of law in Europe.

Shoutout to super team @Boosey for anticipating that I might have outdated score and sending revised one quickly-also fab work on the new edition!My eyes are thanking you all!🤓

[Jasper Parrott @JasperParrott]

Confident nations which also treasure the richness of the diversity in their culture arising from countless waves of immigration and integration sustain and invest in and support the values inherent in culture and creativity and do not indulge in outdated jingoistic divisiveness

[Oliver Dowden @OliverDowden]

Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory are highlights of the Last Night of the Proms

Share concerns of many about their potential removal and have raised this with @BBC

Confident forward-looking nations don’t erase their history, they add to it

[Jasper Parrott @JasperParrott]

@daliaStasevska who is a brilliant and deeply serious conductor deserves support from everyone committed to honesty and truth - she certainly has it unreservedly from all at @HarrisonParrott and @hppolyarts and from @JasperParrott

[Daniel Kidane @dan_kidane]

In support of @DaliaStasevska and the prospect of modernising the repertoire for the Last Night of the @bbcproms this year, here are three alternatives that I'd love to hear:

Aretha Franklin - Respect
The Beatles - Let It Be
Bob Marley - One Love

What would yours be? 🤔

[Jasper Parrott @JasperParrott]

It is truly shameful the way that this matter has been seized upon by the gutter elements in the media and even more surprising that @OliverDowden and even @BorisJohnson should intervene when there has been so little understanding or support for the crisis in music and arts

God luck - and the world owes you a very big thank you for your incredible achievements and advocacy this last year and longer

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

My gap year from school is over, and it feels so great to finally be back in school again!

[Jasper Parrott @JasperParrott]

Thank you - you can reach me very easily via the details on our website - very happy to speak this w/e

[Jasper Parrott @JasperParrott]

I was lucky enough to hear him life in many deeply sincere and convincing performances including in particular Mahler and Elgar - also with Janet Baker
