Lovely day in my FRCM robes yesterday at the RCM graduation ceremony! Congratulations to everyone there, especially making it through COVID lockdowns with such positive attitudes. #growthmindset
@mtpennycook You’ve got my vote if you commit to making this happen. I’m pretty disappointed that the Tories seem to be watering this down. Hope you win the vote though.
Hope dawns once more. We are all overwhelmed & humbled by the continuing support for @BBCSingers from across the world. Thank you all. Here’s to this international musical gem and all who sail in it, with it and encounter it. Will be a great concert this afternoon. Keep singing x
@JohnFinnemore “Well, since you ask for a story about the perils of putting your Sul Ponticello before your slur I might be able to provide a short Divertimento…”
Great to workshop an arrangement by @FloriMaunders of a @ChickCorea piece with @NYJOuk and @markatpt ahead of their residency at Ronnie Scott’s later this month #jazz
@JAGS_MusicDept And well organised by Head of Academic Music my talented wife @elinorcmusic wish I could have seen my daughter and nieces performing. It’s a family affair!
@johnredwood As opposed to our appalling management of health and education in England? Which is beginning to feel like a ruse to sell it all off to some random US health provider who has taken enough of your colleagues out to lunch?
@NYJOuk @jewishmusicUK@Jw3nni what a spectacular afternoon if music - a room full of extraordinary talent and inspirational arrangers/conductors - thank you all so much!
@johnredwood We could still have a viable and green(ish) coal industry if it hadn’t been run down by the Tories in the 1980s along with our other primary industries to “smash the unions”. Coal arrived from Brazil as free ballast in empty ships. No attempt to protect our own by the Tories!
Celebrating nearly Krampusnacht with delicious Nigel Slater recipes from Christmas Chronicles: Pork Chop & Spinach Polenta, spicy chocolate cake… @ Blackheath, London https://t.co/7iTHD6gan0
