'По возвращении в Москву Серов рассказал жене Ольге Федоровне о том, какую кровавую бойню ему довелось наблюдать: В чем же провинились беззащитные люди? Лишь в том, что несли петицию царю, хотели встречи с ним. Значит, теперь в России за это можно и убивать?'

'Впрочем, чаще говорили о начавшейся войне, по деревням шел призыв в армию, и как-то, выйдя прогуляться в село, Серов и сам стал свидетелем раздирающей душу сцены прощания матери с уходящим на войну сыном.'

Yay!

I once thought I was being extra for purchasing a dash cam for cycling, but now it feels even more like a potential device of justice.

In Cambridge: a man on the street getting his face painted with the England flag mocking Chinese people who were speaking as they walked by him. Leaving the house just gets more stressful.

Time to wend our way home after a great week at @MusicInSummer, finished off in style with a great John Passion last night! Thanks to all the wonderful participants for their singing and playing. We had time for one more croquet match before heading to bed…!

Today marks a centenary since the death of critic-composer Valentina Serova (1846-1924). Serova was a remarkable woman committed to both musical developments and music education in late nineteenth-century Russia. Here's a little more about her: musicatcambridge.wordpress.com/2024/02/29/nic…

I was not expecting to pop my Shchedrin cherry with speakers in lieu of a live orchestra. Alas, t'was Carmen this evening @NPSarajevo.
