A brave article that identifies precisely zero real problems facing classical music (or the arts more generally), and makes absolutely no concrete suggestions for fixing any of those problems. But it’s big on hyper-reactionary vibes, so I’m sure it’ll do well.

Really puzzled why this article is attracting such praise - though especially sloppy is the use of the term ‘administrator’ as a kind of folk-devil/bogeyman. A real lack of industry knowledge on show (the rest is just the usual stuff in The Critic about the wokes)

It's sort of extraordinary how quickly commentary from a certain cohort of people on ACE has moved from frustration + dissatisfaction to embracing calls to dismantle it

Can't believe BBC Radio 3 have put Norman Lebrecht back on air - he has caused hurt and distress to many people's lives through his blog and has been rewarded with his own programme bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

What a fantastic interview with Tom Herring by @hwfmorris - made me pause for thought! I'm really proud of the Rothko Chapel collab between Manchester Collective & SANSARA earlier this year

Love the BBC Proms + am not paying to go see Oasis - but worth a reminder that perceptions of elitism are not measured by ticket prices. Comparing Proms tickets with exploitative Ticketmaster pricing to make a point about 'elitist' labels is not the flex people think it is!

Hopefully the Guardian can spell the conductor's name correctly in their next review! I wonder how many times they got Mark Elder's name wrong 🤔
