I have had the most wonderful day. Working with Audra McDonald and @LMTOrch in rehearsal at Bishopsgate Institute has been sublime.

So a brown piano was good enough for Andrew Lloyd Webber and #Sondheim in their duet…. #SondheimsOldFriends

Astonishing. Genius. #SammyDavisJunior #SondheimOnTheBBC #WestSideStoryMedley

A joy, as always, to play with English National Opera today at Bishopsgate Institute. Listen out for me on some trailers, coming soon…

I’m receiving visitors this afternoon from Marchmont where a sister mature Model D may undergo a similar restoration as mine thanks to Steinway & Sons UK . Will recount my adventures with the greatest pleasure.

My first selfie. Is this how it’s done?

Anne Wilson has just played some beautiful Bach… would you like to hear it?

A little embarrassed to report that I successfully guessed today’s Wordle only on the third attempt.

Yesterday’s Sitz was glorious. Not only was the show a great one for a piano, I was in the excellent hands of Ben Kubiak, who gave as good as he got and was a joy to work with. What a special day.

Oooh! May I borrow the Shostakovich and Wagner ones after you’ve finished them, please? #PianosThatRead

Fortunately, nobody has ever proposed suspending me vertically above an Olympic Closing Ceremony #Paris2024

Next week, I’m receiving guests from National Gallery (where Dame Myra ran her lunchtime concerts during WWII) to explore collaboration opportunities. My great champion at Steinway & Sons UK, David Widdicombe, hopes to join us.

How lovely to meet jeremy deller and Emily from National Gallery yesterday. I’m hoping I might also meet Dr Finaldi in time - he has brought back Dame Myra’s lunchtime concerts in the heart of the gallery #NG200 .

The wonderful Nigel Hess informs me that a major biography of Dame Myra will be published soon. Hear more from the author Jessica Duchen ✍️🎶 here. piano-fortissimo-podcast.podigee.io/8-7-myra-hess-…
