Here we are rehearsing #Bach's Mass in B minor for our concert @smitf_london tonight which will be broadcast live on @BBCRadio3 to celebrate #JohnEliotGardiner's 80th birthday.



What an honour to have won @MusicMagazine Vocal Award last night @KingsPlace for 'Battle Cry' on @delphianrecords with @toby_carr 😍 Thank you to everyone who voted & the judges for nominating. We put a lot into this recording & it's a privilege to be recognised like this. 🙏

One more waffer thin cow bell, Sir. Oh go on then. Radio 3 in Concert about go live with a powerful performance of Strauss's mighty Alpine Symphony @BBCPhilharmonic. It's a sensational sound from a vast orchestra. Join me @BBCRadio3 from 7.30, right now!



RIP Nicola Heywood Thomas - a stalwart of Welsh broadcasting for over 40 years. From her ice-cool presence anchoring HTV News in Wales in the 80s and 90s through to her role trusted voice of the arts for BBC Radio Wales. Thoughts with all her friends and colleagues tonight.
