Happy to confirm that I am a regular opera-goer, and keen to work with all our arts organisations, all possible sources of financial investment and the amazing people who make our hearts sing, to ensure they not just survive but thrive. Arts are for everyone!

Once again, the BBC makes it very clear that classical music scarcely makes it on to its radar when it lists notable music deaths of the year on its website. No mention this time of James Bowman, Grace Bumbry, Ryland Davies, Stephen Gould, Yuri Temirkanov or Renata Scotto.

I can’t quite believe I’m typing this, but I’m now Anna Lapwood MBE!!! Thank you to all of you for your support along the way, but particular thanks to everyone at Pembroke College Cambridge & the Royal Albert Hall ❤️ eeeeeeee!!!

Whatever your 2023 was, here’s to a bright 2024. Final word of the year to the wonderful BBC Singers - well, the upper voices, with the brilliant Grace Rossiter and @CatrinFinch. BB always says it best. (The future’s bright - we’re in our centenary year from tomorrow)

It always annoys me to hear continuity announcers on classical radio stations talking about ‘Relaxing sounds’ — as though the purpose of classical music is just to calm you down, instead of exciting you or making you think….

Guys, seriously. It can't be that hard to find a photo of me 🙄?? A kind BBC Radio 3 listener who heard The Gesualdo Six performing my In Winter's House (brilliantly) on Georgia Mann's Essential Classics last Friday was most aggrieved on my behalf. Spot the odd one out Owain Park

#WorldParkinsonsDay I’m still working 13 years after diagnosis-wish I’d know that 13 years ago!! But conducting Carmina Burana Southbank Centre on Saturday would be easier if I wasn’t coping with shortages of Parkinson’s drugs too! One for health minister Victoria Atkins

‘It is not the LSO or Royal Philharmonic or London Philharmonic’s ­responsibility to educate children. It is the government’s job to start educating children and creating not only talent for the future but also audiences.’ Absolutely. Well said, Sir Antonio Pappano
