Trying to save the world waving a stick. Conductor with a passion for diversity and relevance of music to society. Mother-of-two, gin-lover, & tea snob.
Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer reflected today on how playing the flute gave him many opportunities at a young age.
Music has the power to enrich young people's lives. It is vital that Labour fulfils its pledge to put music and the arts back at the heart of our schools.
Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end 🎶)
@RGCWbaritone @Orchestra_Swan@WarwickSchool 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are charming and brilliant in so many ways! Such an indescribable joy to be on stage with you again. Xx
@WSF_MusicLead@WarwickSchool@Orchestra_Swan Such a pleasure to work with your fantastic students and your fabulous school! Such an exciting and visionary educational institution, and one that clearly values music & sees the huge multifaceted applications that it can have on young people’s growth and education. Onward Ho!
The very wonderful @RGCWbaritone will be joining us at Warwick Hall on Thursday 27 June at 7:30pm, performing Mahler's Rückert-Lieder - with or without his slippers!

Thanks to the advocacy of Rebecca Miller and support of @SignumRecords, orchestral music of almost-forgotten English composer Dorothy Howell - with its "imaginative orchestration" - now gets its due. It's the Presto "Recording of the Week." @rmconductor https://t.co/PXwXpwQXrM
@PrestoMusicCom Hurrah! Thanks for honouring the wonderfully colourful and unduly neglected orchestral orchestral works of the ferociously talented Dorothy Howell! This was a true labour of love for me!
To celebrate International Women's Day 2024, we're sharing our Recording of the Week, 'Dorothy Howell - Orchestral Works' (released on @signmusicrecords)! Featuring the @bbcconcertorchestra conducted by @rmconductor.

Happy #NewReleaseFriday! I've been waiting for a record like this ever since I heard the gorgeous 'Lamia' five years ago @bbcproms. If @LeahBroad's 'Quartet' has led you to Howell then it's the record for you too this #InternationalWomensDay. Try it here https://t.co/313s2egUno
Our new #discoftheweek is a fascinating album of orchestral music by Dorothy Howell. Consisting mostly of first recordings, it shows her flair for orchestration, brilliantly played by the @BBCCO under @rmconductor. Perfect for #IWD2024! Read our review https://t.co/6B7GWJsG9F
