The people of Vienna have plenty to say 💖

Enjoying my Wiener EDT (plus one night ❤️🎵❤️)

I love pineapple on pizza but only when surrounded by lots of hot green chillies 🌶🙏🏼☀️ #controversy Came about as a hungry student when generously given an 'accidental' pizza by a shop at closing time for free 😅

Shostakovich, Bacewicz & Haribo. Rehearsal. Let's go 🥳 #musoEP

Taking a moment to appreciate my commute this morning 🥰 #EP #Telford&Wrekin

This week! 🤩🎻🎻🎻🎻❣️

Thank you, Dan. It was extraordinary. At the end of the Shostakovich - dedicated to the victims of fascism - the audience remained pin-drop silent. Incredibly moving. Such a powerful shared experience 🤍

And they're dangerous - imagine one of those coming loose and flapping onto your windscreen while driving...

Removing them is costing the council outrageous amounts of precious £££... a shameful waste of resources. Those behind the flags should be held accountable.

I can and will - have an excellent violinist friend who lives right there 🤩🙏🏼

Splendid! 🤩

Am really looking forward to performing with my amazing Jarualda Quartet comrades in this gorgeous intimate space 😍 It will be quite the musical ride this eve... 😀 😊 🎻🎻🎻🎻❤️‍🔥

Nearly posh frock o'clock... #musoEP

We’re very excited to share that the Barriers to Education website has officially launched: lnkd.in/e5vmcDaQ

The website has been created to bring parents, carers and professionals together with practical, compassionate approaches that make a real difference.

Me with my viola playing in our local pub. Little tattoo of an image designed by my daughter for my son. Means the world.

Been a bit quiet I have, mainly because a) start of term has been 🍌🍌😅 & b) epic # of opera, orch & quartet gigs this month! #musoEP

Pictures say more than words. I can't convey the depth of my gratitude for the musical & EP family that surrounds me 🥰 so in lieu of a bid to find words, this will do.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

1) Teacher–student relationships aren’t “soft extras.”

This analysis (2.6m pupils) shows they drive achievement, motivation, executive function, belonging + wellbeing.

Predictable structures + relational warmth = accelerators of learning, not distractions.

Marking 50 years since the composer’s death, this programme resonates powerfully in today’s climate, where the call to resist oppression feels as urgent as it ever has.

Expect characteristic intensity from the Jarualdas, bringing stunning music to beautiful rural spaces across Shropshire 🎻🎻🎻🎻❤️

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music & meaning on Saturday 4th October as @jarualdaquartet.bsky.social presents a world premiere of Paul Henley's Lyric Movement alongside Shostakovich’s haunting Eighth String Quartet—written in 1960 and dedicated “to the victims of fascism and war.”

Rehearsing this afternoon with the glorious Sally (clarinet) & Pam (piano), preparing some beautiful works by Max Bruch & Mozart's Kegelstatt trio for a gig on 31.10 🤩🥰

What a lush way to spend time 🥰

Union Jacks and St George’s crosses are going up on lampposts across the UK. The Daily Mail called those behind it an “army of patriots.”

But the truth is very different.

To anyone considering family train holiday in Europe, it works. Back from two weeks; LDN>Brussels>Munich >Verona>Turin->London.
6yo fave train, the Nightjet sleeper to Munich. Rest of us, the train over the Alps into Italy.

Hat tip to @seatsixtyone.bsky.social for opening eyes to what is doable.1/

I’m sorry but no. Protests and demos with dozens or low hundreds of attendees are not especially newsworthy. I’ve seen larger turnouts at a Warhammer event.

How does one commission? Perhaps we might exchange commodities 🤩
