@spconnolly @BorisJohnson @metpoliceuk No, sorry I can't.

My piece for the @independent on the problem facing Britain - it is called the Conservative Party. A wasted decade. Three failed PMs. Four failed Brexit ministers (soon to be 5) Austerity and Brexit are breaking Britain. The truth. Merry Xmas independent.co.uk/voices/austeri…

Good night folks. A beautifully played Adagietto by @alissafirsova Enjoy. #Mahler open.spotify.com/track/76ZOFThg…

Farewell to Prof Robert Saxton, friend & colleague, who officially retires today as Tutorial Fellow in Music at @WorcCollegeOx after 22 years. I'm now on my own for a bit until his successor is announced & arrives. 😟

Nadia Boulanger b otd 1887. Bob Levin tells the story of having to discuss a programme in the room where Boulanger lay comatose, having not spoken for weeks. A programme was suggested - but suddenly a voice emerged from the bed: 'Ah non - ca ne marche pas.' A musician to the end!

Epic Gala concert @glyndebourne with @LPOrchestrathe @glassyben & @Bryn_Terfel (whom I debuted w/ @metopera when I was only 19). More of these concerts to come! BIGGEST Thank you to @viviennewestwood @ndreaskronthaler & my brand partners @vancleefarpels for making me so glam!❤️

A day late for Odessa’s City Day but not a kopeck or kopiyka short: here’s the cover of my new selection of Isaac Babel’s essential stories, “Of Sunshine and Bedbugs,” which the gang at @PushkinPress will bring out, with guns blazing, next year! #CoverReveal

Please help Belinda Drake crowdfund for this Afghan family in desperate danger. She has first hand news of them and it’s truly worrying. Give anything you can. Thank you. crowdfunder.co.uk/help-the-afgha…

I'm astonished that this has only had 9 re-tweets! These cuts are a mortal blow to the future of professional music in Britain - no exaggeration, this is the stark reality. If you care about this at all, please RE-TWEET and encourage your contacts to RT as well. @GavinWilliamson

Yesterday my bike was stolen from outside of TK Maxx Kingston between 12-4pm. Right under the CCTV. If anyone sees this silver Boardman being sold anywhere or has any information please let me know. I have reported it to the police @TeddingtonNub @MPSTeddington @Teddington_Town

"the seriousness of all these composers, and the sympathetic playing...was an inspiration." Lovely 4* review from @ivanhewett @TeleClassical for last night's @LPOrchestra 5-premiere concert featuring #LPOYoungComposers and #FoyleFutureFirsts musicians! telegraph.co.uk/music/classica…

I learned so much today about the value of a trusted relationship between conductor and soloist and I realise I have taken it for granted before. The joy of her incredible ears and intuition and my increasing freedom made me so happy. #sianedwards @BrittenSinfonia @BrittenPears

After 14 hugely enjoyable years at the Barbican, I will be stepping down later this year now the Barbican is reopening to our audiences, to return to my roots in music writing, criticism and research. Thanks to everyone for their support!

Just a reminder of tomorrow's concert, with some 'live' seats still available from Pushkin House, and also available live-streamed. Recommended! @Pushkin_House @MarsyasTrio @ValerieWelbanks

A wonderful chance to hear recent works by Russian-British Vladimir Shoot, a composer with his own special voice. And a celebration of his 80th birthday, too!

@batonflipper @stephenm68 @TheCBSO Great to see Malcolm Arnold's music being featured. Always such a moving (or rousing) composer.

After years of badgering @stephenm68 to let me conduct Arnold 5 with @TheCBSO, today was the day - I thought they played the pants off it and our audiences seemed to love it too! And that ending again gave me a lump in my throat. Never fails!! Thank you dear CBSO.
