I am very much looking forward to this talk by Anne Desler at the #WeekOfSound about the ridiculousness of staging and stage effects in Baroque opera. Contemporary opera needs more pyrotechnics and crocodiles.

Here's a velvet swimming crab chilling in the green room ahead of its Edinburgh concert debut next Monday at the UNESCO #WeekOfSound.

A photograph of a serpent in a music instrument museum. Don't worry, it's not poisonous and it's not alive and in fact it's not even a snake. It's actually a big old weird-looking curvy wind instrument, hence the name.
It certainly looks a bit wavy, but how does it work? Curator Jenny Nex has the answers at this special tour of the collection at St Cecilia's Hall for the second #WeekOfSound in #Edinburgh

An orange square. In black text, the words 'Week of sound' is written in capitals. There's a circle made up of dogs, which look a little like the pattern you might see on a loudspeaker. In the corner is the UNESCO Week of Sound logo.

This article from @theguardian.com really underlines what the UNESCO #WeekOfSound is all about. We live in a sounding world — it plays a significant role in our wellbeing.

A must listen. We will be honouring Rebecca's work and legacy — and hopefully, taking it forward — with a special day of events in this year's #WeekofSound.
Wonderful indeed — more from @AlexSouth, and the ocean, at the 2025 #WeekOfSound in Edinburgh.
