1/ You’ve seen the fires You seen the floods You’ve read the news reports You’re scared And now you want to do something about it But what? And how? A (longish) thread

Maestro @nezetseguin warmly greets composer Iman Habibi, whose Jeder Baum Spricht was finally heard by a live Philadelphia audience.

This will be phenomenal! Music by Iman Habibi, Valerie Coleman, Beethoven, Bernstein, and Shostakovich (with Yuja at the piano), performed by the incredible The Philadelphia Orchestra and Maestro @nezetseguin at Carnegie Hall.

I second this!

*Everyone* should read this thread!

Be sure to watch the hauntingly beautiful performance of #InaBoyle's Phantasy by the RIAMDublin 🎻🎶 A huge congratulations to Erin Hennessey for a marvellous performance and typesetting this wonderful music - score now available through CMC Ireland ✍️ youtube.com/watch?v=tgn3DY…

I hope this is available in Ontario soon as well!

1/5 Music by Canadian composers we fell in love with this year, starting with this piano sonata by Iman Habibi, composed in 2013 and released by Deborah Grimmett on her 2021 album, Lineage: Tracing Influence. open.spotify.com/track/34RDsKHy…

Thanks for the shoutout, @CBCClassical. The feeling is mutual, I too adore Iman Habibi's Piano Sonata (Voyage)! @NewClassicsR #LineageTracingInfluence

Thanks for the shoutout, and for playing my recording of #RhodaCoghill. @NewClassicsR #Lineagetracinginfluence

Kudos to Milwaukee Symphony and Maestro Ken-David Masur! Not only are they doing a season inspired by planet earth and our relationship with the environment, but for once, I find myself part of an orchestra program in which the name of the living composer is being featured... 1/2

Devastated to hear that Radu Lupu has left us. Not only one of the greatest, warmest, most profound musicians I've ever heard, but also a deeply kind, compassionate, modest and humorous man - and a wonderful friend. He was ready to go, true; but he'll still be desperately missed.

Pleased to see #RhodaCoghill, and her track from my album Lineage: Tracing Influence, getting more airtime on RTÉ lyric fm!

Amazon is dramatically reshaping our world, our brains, and our consumer culture for the worse, and its membership service is the engine that keeps it all running. I wrote about why you should cancel Prime: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

2/3 To illustrate what I mean by underappreciated, the *sole* commercial recording thus far of music composed or arranged by #RhodaCoghill was only released in 2021. Deborah Grimmett's recording of Saoirdhréacht Gaedhealach (Gaelic Fantasy) for solo piano: open.spotify.com/track/5SfO5PiO…
