#SymphonistOfTheWeek Gál's later cello music took on a special melancholy strain. Do I hear sadness that #ClassicalMusic was rushing to leave his kind of music behind? Or maybe it's just @mattdjsharp's wonderful playing with @kennethwoods @EnglishSymphon. spoti.fi/2G3FzQS

The incredible work that @CrispinWoodhead and the outstanding team @theoae are doing. THIS is how to integrate music into a community without ever dumbing down, or being patronising. Accessibility and opportunity for all. Inspired and brilliant.
