Incredible day of concerts yesterday. Started with a packed family show with James Mayhew is ON TOUR, launched this year’s Magnum Opus with 3 fab premieres & finished with the utter joy of performing with 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Ben Goldscheider & Michael Papadopoulos premiering Huw Watkins new work!

Yes Ben Goldscheider! Yes 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞! Yes Britten Sinfonia! What a pulse-racing spirit-raising concert at Milton Court Barbican Centre - both soloists in their element in Britten's Serenade then Ben remarkably bounded through Huw Watkins's ultra energetic new Horn Concerto.
