Studying a particular section in Messiaen’s Turangalila and a woodpigeon’s just started singing along in time, like it knew.

What a warm (and sunny!) welcome we had Hallé St Peter's last Sunday, for our first course in Manchester in some 20 years: a huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success, not least the brilliant Stephen Bell who steered us through Also sprach Zarathustra!

Excited is an understatement 😍
