I loved the London 2012 opening ceremony. But it is noticeable how much classical music by the great French composers is being included tonight. Unthinkable here, alas. But it seems that in France classical music isn’t seen as ‘too elitist’, whatever that means. #Paris2024

@Olympics The Stig?

Who's that mysterious figure holding the torch? #Paris2024 #OpeningCeremony

Appropriately enough 'Jeux d'eau' - that poor piano in the torrential rain 😞 #Olympics

And that poor piano! Couldn't they put a gazebo over it to protect it from the rain? #Olym

What on earth did they just do to the Can Can? #oly

@pete23980 Even your Goldfish wouldn't have found that version of the dance difficult

@Matlax My dog isn’t interested.

First time at a Whiskey tasting tonight. What a great experience. So many different flavours. Think I might have expensive tastes. Luckily for my bank balance they were sold out of my favourites.

We are delighted to announce that Katie Lucas will be joining Sinfonia Viva as our Head of Creative Programmes from September. Katie brings a wealth of experience in working with community groups and schools and developing relaxed performances for people living with dementia.

Great fun playing with Deep Down Brass tonight, if a Little chilly! And a Great venue at Binks Yard in Nottingham.

Ryan's favourites playlist for background music at tea today: The Macarena, Another One Bites the Dust, Prodigy Firestarter, Katy Perry Fireworks then we had to skip the Christmas tunes! Certainly varied listening tonight in the Lax household

Join Our Team! *Head of Creative Programmes* We are recruiting for a new team member to lead on the development and successful delivery of all aspects of Sinfonia Viva’s creative programmes within community, education, health, and care settings. sinfoniaviva.co.uk/Pages/Category…

Why does my car clock think the clocks have changed already?

Late to the game but if Twitter is now X, do we still post Tweets or are they Xs?
