Ian was the rarest of men. A driving force behind so many world class institutions (Live Music Now, EUYO, World Orchestra for Peace), his no-nonsense approach and sardonic humour (!) helped forge an incredible music legacy. He is sadly missed. https://t.co/U277zu4tcL

The names of some of the 13,022 Palestinian children killed by Israel in Gaza since October 7th.

13,022 children. In just 111 days.

And the list here doesn’t even begin to cover it.

This is not war; it’s genocide.
