Good luck to all the amazing kids in NCO-GB today. It's been an inspirational week coaching the bassoons who have also taught me about brat summers and being demure. And to the other tutors for all the many lols

BTS recording the intro for the Aurora Orchestra prom. Whilst I'm not in the least bit envious of having to memorise Beethoven 9 - really glad to be involved cos it's gonna be one heck of a show.

Honestly. Two of the most fabulous people playing one of the most fabulous solos. What more could you ask for.

Join me and my luminous tee at one o'clock on BBC Radio 3 for great chamber music from the Edinburgh festival and a bassoon-tastic prom featuring the sorcerers apprentice and Stravinsky's glittering firebird suite by the BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus

Absolutely delighted to be appointed to the board of The Multi-Story Orch it's an organisation I work with regularly but also whose mission I believe so strongly in. They're making change in the music industry in the most profound and authentic ways.

The was so fun to make. In between working I just remember laughing lots. Big thanks to Courtney!!!! And everyone at livewire. And of course the The National Youth Orchestra and the BBC Proms

Our British Music Map runs all day today on BBC Radio 3. Some fascinating musical connections, taking us all the way through to the Doctor Who Prom (which will take us in all sorts of other fantastical directions) at 7pm.

Bit of Fogg to clear the fog on this moody Monday morning

Join me on BBC Radio 3 now for music from around the British isles with Elgar's Epic First Symphony played in full just after 3 and music by Ethel Smyth, Grace Williams and a little surprise that's shaken - not stirred.

The Aurora Orchestra received multiple ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews BBC Proms last week, for their remarkable performance of Beethoven 9 from memory. Hear it again from 1pm today BBC Radio 3 on Classical Live with Linton Stephens: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Another chance to hear Beethoven's 9th performed with the vigour and energy that only Aurora can bring with their interpretation from memory. This afternoon on BBC Radio 3

People say classical music is elitist. But right now THE LARGEST CLASSICAL MUSIC FESTIVAL IN THE WORLD costs as little as £8 to see the world's GREATEST headline acts. And oasis want between £74 and £506. Not very demure. Not very mindful. And quite elitist if you ask me.

I love this genre. Not a cute side kick but a character whose origins are based in folklore which itself often conceals an important life lesson

Discovered these sax pieces and I'm obsessed

Join me this morning for a great mix of music from Mozart to Smyth with a little something from a galaxy far far away thrown in for good measure

It's nearly #blackhistorymonth and just like last year (below) I'll have 31 days of Black and Ethnically diverse composers to showcase every single day.

Lovely message in the inbox today

I need a rum

After 8 weeks of fabulous concerts the BBC proms culminates in the last night. Catch my interview with Sir Stephen Hough Stephen Hough just before his concerto performance this evening on BBC 2
