A special reunion today.
Jasiel Peter arrived at Trinity Laban barely able to hold a bass. Through discipline and determination, he is now performing at the Royal Albert Hall with A. R. Rahman.
This is what teaching is about - transformation.
Nothing will hold him back. 🎶

🎻 A new orchestra is coming to Tring

On Sunday 12 April at 3:00pm, Tring Camerata makes its debut at the church St Peter & St Paul on the High Street.

A professional chamber orchestra, rooted right here in Tring.

@drianpace Intrinsic v.s. extrinsic knowledge? Too many armchair experts pontificating from the safety of their keyboards?

@MannGeorgia @Spectator_LIFE @BBCRadio3 Hear hear! As someone who has devoted a lifetime to classical music, I’ve always believed its power lies in sharing it widely, not guarding it jealously. The greatest damage to classical music often comes from its own gatekeepers.

In April Clemmie Gee marks 10 years as my personal assistant.
Behind every concert, recording, article, broadcast, teaching commitment and journey is Clemmie ensuring everything works.
This photo shows her in my office today doing exactly that.

Thank you, Clemmie.

@classicjacko @Telegraph I have incidently, as a professional musician, listened to @BBCRadio3 every single day of my life since 1982, and continue to enjoy doing so.

[Leon Bosch @leonbosch]

@classicjacko @Telegraph Agreed! There are too many insufferable snobs in classical music - most of whom have rarely, if ever, ventured out onto the concert platform, let alone engage with their communities - who do the art form incalculable damage.

@alexdichmont Yes, you were our best man, thank you!

40 years. ❤️
On this day, Barbara and I were married; the best decision of my life.
Happy Ruby Anniversary Barbara!
Aleksandr, Jonathan and I have flourished because of her love.
Forty years on, we’re still looking out in the same direction, with more to do and enjoy together.

At Conway Hall, I Musicanti performs J.B. Cramer’s Piano Quintet No.3 in B-flat, Op.79 written for the Trout instrumentation and premiered in London in 1833 with Domenico Dragonetti on bass.
