Loving hear tawny owls courting in the woods outside our garage right now as I watch Stranger Things series 4… Generous long hoots interspersed by short female replies, perfect accompaniment to 80s reminiscences and monsters.

What a privilege to conduct #Elgar #EnigmaVariations & #Walton #Spitfire with HighlandChamberOrchestra today - Bravi tutti! Fantastic 1-day energy and musicianship from all. My Garmin’s 4-hour hr data tells a merry story…

We are devastated at today's decision from Aberdeen City Council to remove funding from #BigNoiseTorry. We will now have to assess the full impact of this shocking decision, and we are appealing to anyone who can to donate to the future of #BigNoiseTorry here 👇 🔗 makeabignoise.enthuse.com/cf/support-big…

Kings Return - Amazing Grace #Easter

"put some music on it, represented abstractly" "what music?" "anything's fine"

It was a pleasure to play for Megan at @MusiciansYoung Competition yesterday - real joy in her music-making.

One of the tragedies of Mozart's early death is that it cut short the development of his art at a time when it was gaining new layers of depth and complexity. His harmonic language was becoming richer, and his study of Bach and Handel was giving his own music a new rigor.

Bernstein conducting with his face 💙
