Musical stories in Gateshead today with Royal Northern Sinfonia at The Glasshouse

Cracking Christmas concert tonight from superb London Choral Sinfonia at Sinfonia Smith Square with new orchestral version of my 'Nova nova'.

That's great, thanks!

I've arranged a smorgasbord of Christmas songs for Benjamin Appl's new album. Here's a Swedish favourite: open.spotify.com/track/1eD3sP...

A bundle of new festive arrangements for Lucy Crowe and La Nuova Musica tonight at @wigmore-hall.bsky.social

After the exhilarating experience of performing ‘Nova nova’ with Birmingham Bach Choir last Christmas, this year’s @iainfarrington.bsky.social piece is far more laid back, though in its on way, equally effective.

Thanks Paul, nicely summarised. The pedal part is easy too, which helps!

Going bilingual in west Wales for today's piano recital.

I've arranged some rustic Haydn for Lucie Horsch & Rachel Podger, as the opening piece on this fab new album.
