The daughter of a midwife and a sawmill worker, she became one of opera's great voices, breaking barriers at a time of segregation.

Today, we celebrate the birth of Leontyne Price, a soprano who made her opera debut here in the 1957 US premiere of "Dialogues of the Carmelites."

Putting Kamala Harris as VP into perspective.See the red box? Until then, she would have been enslaved.See the blue box? Until then, she couldn’t vote. Yellow box? Until then, she had to attend a segregated school.
The green one? Until then she couldn’t have her own bank account

80 years ago today, Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time was premiered by the composer and three fellow prisoners of war at camp Stalag VIII-A, Silesia. A privilege to share this music at @Wigmore_hall with @matthunt3, @ShekuKM & @ElenaUrioste this week: https://t.co/DZEmQUViDe

@PosterTom @RNCMvoice Thank you so much for the reply Tom! Me and my friends started a clarinet/piano/viola trio last year and have loved the repertoire we've covered so far! Can't wait to try this all with them soon hopefully! 🙂

[Laurel Saunders @laurelmonterosa]

Thank you so much @PosterTom and @ElenaUrioste for the ensemble workshop today! Such a privilege to be able to listen to you both working on a piece together!
I just had one question that wasn't asked...

Thanks to all our amazing WEYO tutors, special guests and young musicians who have joined us this week. Here's to a great 2021 - full of Mahler!! 🌟

[Wiltshire Music Centre @wiltshiremusic]

Day #2 of WEYO's Mahler Odyssey, and who better to talk to than the brilliant Jennifer Johnston? 🤩 With over 50 performances of Mahler 2 to her name, she gave a fantastic insight into the world of symphonic singing. Bravo! 🙏

[Laurel Saunders @laurelmonterosa]

Dicovering Fabio Di Casolas' recording of Weber clarinet concerto No1 has opened my eyes. I wholeheartedly recommend- He brings a sensitivity and humanity to it that I hadn't heard before!
Thanks @RNCMvoice for the online resources like Gramophone!📔
