The lights are on, the organ revved up. @pearcewebdesign joins the @BBCSO for tonight’s @bbcproms for Faure’s Requiem and Pelleas et Melisande and Ravel’s spectacular Daphnis & Chloe suite. And 2 lovely pieces by Lili Boulanger. We’re live @BBCRadio3 at 6.30.

@rasmussen_anna Can't count, 240 plus 32!

#RAHChristmas Luca (9 years old) would love to know how many keys there are on the organ. He’s quite fascinated by it !

@rasmussen_anna Good question! 352 keys and 32 pedals (keys for the feet!) 🙂

@WaverleySingers @jimmyvacance @PeteDavTenor @philscriv1 Congratulations everyone!

"Glorious!" Thanks to our wonderful soloists @jimmyvacance and @PeteDavTenor, to the amazing @philscriv1, and to @pearcewebdesign for a genius programme and inspirational leadership. And to a super audience who chose us over the rugby!

In #rehearsal for tonight’s @celebratevoice concert at Italianate Church of St Mary & St Nicholas. 🎶 The Song of Harvest by @bobchilcott 🎉 We’re delighted to be opening the 10th Celebrate Voice Festival with organist @pearcewebdesign & Principal Guest Conductor Bob Chilcott.

@DaliaStasevska Congratulations, Dalia!

Six years married! A good day to share that we’re expecting our first one and getting ready to take it to the next level.

A political leader talking about the importance of music education in a knowledgeable, informed way. Hallelujah! 👏 @classicfm classicfm.com/music-news/sir…

@colla_voce @WatkinsHuw When I was a chorister at Westminster Abbey we had to abandon this as an anthem just before the service because the back row couldn't hold it together, a strong childhood memory!

@WatkinsHuw Yes, and heartfelt in a lovely early-Britten way that I think sometimes gets obscured later on. But I don't think I get could get a choir past that refrain intact 😐

Ooh! Britten! Auden! Er...

@RichardKGCooke @CanterburyChora @mozartplayers @rebeccajlea @TGHambleton Have a good one!

It’s TODAY. It’s wonderful and @CanterburyChora @mozartplayers @rebeccajlea @TGHambleton and our @CanterburyChora Youth Choir.

What an amazing afternoon! Thanks to all at ⁦@RoyalAlbertHall⁩, to ⁦@rpoonline⁩, our soloists ⁦@KeriFuge⁩ ⁦@MartaFontanals⁩ ⁦@AJRStaples⁩ ⁦@jimclevbaritone⁩, ⁦@pearcewebdesign⁩ on the organ & ⁦@RichardKGCooke⁩ keeping us on track!

@johnmrutter Well said, John, it's so depressing. 😥

If Latvia (pop. < 2 million) can support a thriving full-time professional chamber choir of 24 singers, is it too much to ask that in Britain (pop. ±70 million) our national broadcaster should be able to support the 18 members of the BBC Singers? JR change.org/p/stop-the-pla…

@IainFarrington Hooray!

A new organ piece for the Coronation:

@beckyje42171708 Play with a big smile on your face, Phoebe, and everyone will love it - works for me! Have a great performance in Jan!

#RAHCHRISTMAS Our 9 yr old Phoebe is playing piano in front of the school in Jan. Any tips from the organ master himself? The Jennings ps merry xmas

@andrewrconway Go for it, Isabelle!

@colla_voce I think I met him! Very nice immigration people at Arlanda!

God bless the border guard at Arlanda who let me come through the much shorter EU citizen queue once he'd confirmed I didn't vote for Brexshit. It meant I made the last train.
