Another little clip from last weeks wind quintet performance in a gorgeous old church in Glossop - a lovely tune I found in Daniel Wrights 1734 called Once I Had a Sweetheart. Thanks @GSmithMusic for the video! 🐦
Gorgeous first performance with my wind quintet for @Glossopmusic on Friday evening-Thank you so much Alex Lyon, Mercedes Phillips, Rachel Whibley, and Naomi Atherton for being a part of it - you’re all total stars! Here’s a bit of the morris jig, Constant Billy. 🎥@GSmithMusic
I love playing at @Alphabetti theatre. Performing with french dance band Cri du Canard 🦆🇫🇷 🦆on the 23rd, and looking forward to hearing the Hearken Quartet for the first time 🤟link for tickets ⬇️ Come on down for a dance with us - pied gauche, á temps!
Really looking forward to the wind quintet’s first outing on Friday. The venue is stunning, and I’m predicting the performance beforehand of baroque by candlelight will be utterly magical - hopefully see you there 🐦
Looking forward to sharing some music I made for wind quintet at @Glossopmusic on 5th of May - grateful to be playing with the brilliant @mercedessax, Alex Lyon, Rachel Whibley, and Naomi Atherton 🙏 (Apologies for terrible camera work…) 🐦
Incredibly excited to be debuting some new music I made for wind quintet @Glossopmusic on the 5th of May - it’s going to be a gorgeous evening of music with some really lovely people. If you’re free and in the area it would be great to see you there! ✌️
Incredibly pleased for @JoFreya and honoured to be handing over to her later this year. She is a brilliant musician, educator, and a wonderful human - very excited for the lucky young musicians that will be working with her over the next #youthfolk cohorts 🥰 Well done Jo! 🎷🤩
We are the only national organisation that champions folk music and dance for all – grass-roots amateurs, community groups, professionals, educators, young people, etc. We are engaging with @ace_national about their decision to cut support for folk arts. https://t.co/zzGC71aANF
@DominicSmith @echolevel @StarAndShadow And what a treat it is to hear them playing it so marvellously! Excellent music making by some truly brilliant people 👍
Hello there! @bbcproms Any chance there’s footage from proms 96 knocking about? My mum was playing bassoon in Symphonie Fantastique with Liverpool Phil - would be lovely to see/hear it! Thanks 🙏 Really enjoying the current season 🎶 🎶 #BBCProms#nostalgia
We had fun #YouthFolk-ing in Manchester! Next we’re off to @exeter_phoenix (tickets available) and @cecilsharphouse (sold out ages ago). Happy happy to have lots of alumni and current members with us too.
What an absolutely unbelievable ending to the National Youth Folk Ensemble 3rd week together - their concert last night at @cecilsharphouse was utterly incredible. They continue to amaze and inspire me 🙏 #youthfolk@TheEFDSS
Thank you so much to author @CorrinneAveriss & musician @PartridgeSamuel for not one, but two musical storytimes today! Corrinne read her book A Song in the Mist (with gorgeous illustrations by @FionaWoodcock) accompanied by Sam on a bamboo flute just like the one in the story!
