On our way home from a wonderfully varied concert by Muses of Ukraine, including #GustavHolst’s Four Songs for Voice and Violin. Although challenging to perform they were much performed in his lifetime and he thought he had come close to his quest to wed his music to words.

Wonderful performance of #GustavHolst150’s 2 piano version of The Planets in the normally quiet-ish Rare Books and Music room ⁦British Library⁩. An unexpected chance to see one of his MS scores too. Bravo to all concerned for a wonderful experiment to be repeated soon.

A quick reminder about this Holst event at the British Library next week (Wed 20 Nov) - blogs.bl.uk/music/2024/10/…. Colleagues from Holst Victorian House, The Britten Pears Archive and Philippa Tudor explore Holst's archival legacy - plus music by Gustav and Imogen, thanks to Royal College of Music!
