@holland_tom Currently in rehearsal for an opera about the Burghers based on the George Bernard Shaw play. Really enjoyed the 100 years war episodes!

The Burghers of Calais

@ChChCathedralOx Absolute legend and stalwart since her son was a chorister in the 90s!

One of our amazing volunteers, Elaine, is hard at work creating a beautiful Easter Garden in the Cathedral Porch ready for Sunday. We are truly blessed to have such skilled and passionate volunteers. If you are in #Oxford, do come have a look and admire Elaine's creation.

@wjbdawes It’s been a long week!

@wjbdawes I seem to remember you playing me two incredible settings of psalms by Lydia Boulanger some years ago.

@gumbetweets I disagree. This is exactly the kind of thing I want to read in a programme note

Handel deciding his best Concerti Grossi should be numbered Op.6 to follow Corelli's own Op.6 is the same as Lebron wearing 23 to follow Jordan... #thingsthatcantgoinaprogrammenote

52 seconds of Peter Ustinov and Dudley Moore improving opera will make the wind and rain disappear. My word this is good!!

@wjbdawes Even better.

@wjbdawes You could put on a performance

@NugeeJacob @DanCricket93 2021 was a much better year for village Green slogging

Give me your most controversial cricket opinion 👇🏻

@KirstyM_Art Are prints of these going to be available?

@Ennobledinsect @Anna_Patalong This is incredible

So @Anna_Patalong was doing some tidying earlier and I think we might have pinpointed the exact moment in lockdown that my mind fully unravelled

Being in 🇮🇪 posed problems to me watching all of yesterday. However, I caught as much as I could and my word! The choirs, organists, pipers, bands and all other musicians were amazing. The organisation impeccable. We may have many problems but we do pageantry better than anyone!

@GregBDavies @StPaulsChoir Even more impressive. Despite being a chorister once and working with them most of my adult life I can never get over what they do

@tombennett90 @StPaulsChoir Less than 48 hours!

You wouldn’t believe that those trebles have been back for less than a week. Extraordinary singing from @StPaulsChoir. And Chris Webb that took serious skills. Phenomenal.

@robert_quinney Thoroughly enjoyed episode 1 on my run this afternoon

Brilliant analysis, balance, perspective right here:

@robert_quinney @annalapwood @willjfox You can say anything to small children and they will believe you

@tombennett90 @annalapwood @willjfox Job share, was it?

Not much point retweeting this since @annalapwood has a bazillion followers, but THIS. Also must say @willjfox brilliant today, perfectly paced and expressive playing.

@annalapwood @robert_quinney @willjfox God and I used to be a maths teacher

@tombennett90 @robert_quinney @willjfox (28.3 thousand more, actually…)

Genuine question - what happens if the entire country decides not to pay their energy bills?

Home (and exhausted) from my 11th @EdingtonFest and I find it almost impossible to express how much I love this festival and place. I feel fortunate to witness such incredible music-making and to play a small part in making it possible. #Edders2022
