Fantastic weekend of music making with @TheRenoPhil, feat. @InbalSegevCello perf. cello concerto by @annaclyne & conductor Irene Delgado-Jiménez perf. "Conga del Fuego Nuevo" by Marquez, plus one of my all-time faves—Dvorak's Seventh! #womenmusicians @takialsop

.@Andrewvonoeyen rocked the house tonight as soloist in Grieg's Piano Concerto with @TheRenoPhil. I love it when a concerto feels like chamber music. It helped that we could look at one another eye-to-eye during the show--me standing on the podium, him sitting on the piano bench!

Inspiring visit today to Vienna’s Musikverein. A beautiful hall. Among the dozens of composers represented throughout, there is only one woman — Clara Schumann. However, I was thrilled to learn that she has been represented here since the hall opened in 1870!!! #womenmusicians

Thanks to @ForbesWomen for this profile celebrating the power of the arts to bring critical social issues to the fore. The @TheRenoPhil collaboration with @jlopezbellido, @nevadaart, & @nature_org to premiere Jimmy's amazing "Altered Landscape" Symphony is making a difference!

I spoke with @cbschicago about the #BreakingBarriers festival of #womenconductors at @RaviniaFestival with @marinalsop. It's an inspiration to be making music with so many amazing & brilliant women. #WomenSupportingWomen https://t.co/R09IVP5RmB

“I really see the song as a living symbol.”

@usmusicscholar, author of “O Say Can You Hear?,” speaks with @LinseyDavis on how the national anthem has impacted our country culture and why it remains heavily disputed today.

[Laura Jackson @LauraConductor]

This project means so so much to me; @jlopezbellido’s symphony is simply magnificent and it was an honor to bring it to life with the musicians of @TheRenoPhil @nature_org #NewMusicAlert @takialsop #womenconductors

[Jimmy López @jimmylopezmusic]

You can now watch and listen to "Symphony No. 3: Altered Landscape" in full, as led by @LauraConductor & @TheRenoPhil. To say that I am grateful would be an understatement. This has been an incredibly emotional journey. Sit back and enjoy the ride. 🎶💫✨ https://t.co/nvCespCJwb

Who performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” best? The author of a book about the song reckons it was Whitney Houston at the Super Bowl in 1991—but salutes Jimi Hendrix’s rendition at Woodstock https://t.co/GkO7O5zaOo

[Jimmy López @jimmylopezmusic]

LOVE—an endless stream, the universe’s creative force; what binds us & makes our souls glow. Yesterday @francielbm & I expressed in words what our hearts had been saying to each other for a long time. We made a promise as old as time & we intend to keep it for as long as we exist

[Laura Jackson @LauraConductor]

Went on a pre-performance walk through the amazing Peony Garden in Oshawa, Ontario before our @Ontario_Phil concert tonight — no better way to connect with Beethoven and the #sublime. #ClassicalMusic

[Laura Jackson @LauraConductor]

All-#Beethoven program tonight at 8 p.m. with the @Ontario_Phil at the astonishingly lovely Regent Theatre in Oshawa, Ontario. The partnership with the musicians has been immediate, warm, and truly musical. For details, see https://t.co/KYSw8tGWP6

[Laura Jackson @LauraConductor]

Thanks for bringing your artistry to this partnership @calvertphoto !!! I’m so proud of all we’ve done.

[David Calvert @calvertphoto]

Last night, @TheRenoPhil premiered @jlopezbellido's "Altered Landscape," a symphony inspired by @nevadaart's signature photographic collection. The composition explores the dynamic interconnectedness of humans and the Earth. It's deeply moving.

[Laura Jackson @LauraConductor]

3+ years in the making and now just 3+ hours away—Symphony No. 3 “Altered Landscape” by @jlopezbellido. So grateful to the musicians, staff, audience & donors of @TheRenoPhil as well as the partnership with @nevadaart for making this #worldpremiere possible!
