Bravo Alex Aitken! My first time going back into London to see a show. It was incredible. Mary Poppins Musical

20 years ago, we suffered an enormous tragedy that resonated around the world. I was in London preparing for The Last Night of the Proms. We completely reorganized the program to include what was the single most emotional moment of my conducting career. youtu.be/N_dg2xYfgWg

The power of teaching and determination!

Fond memories, the Sinfonietta was one of the first pieces I played in Southbank Sinfonia

My mate’s cousin, Matt, is quite laterally a genius. Praise be to his lateral flow church…

What a performance! The Orchestra of the Swan were incredible last night in their first concert of our exciting partnership.

A real treat for me too!!

It still is!!!

I cannot wait to play my favourite clarinet concerto with an amazing group of musicians!

Reminder - early bird tickets are available until midnight Weds 18th May, full price after then, all available at thelittleboxoffice.com/bishopsstortfo… See you there!

A very special concert for me. Plus I had the pleasure of listening to the Elgar which was simply beautiful!

A reminder, should you be in need of a smile, that eggs were once called ‘cacklefarts’, penguins were known as ‘arse-feet’, umbrellas as ‘bumbershoots’, and sausages as ‘bags of mystery’ because you never quite know what’s in them.

Today! Should be a fun afternoon. Benslow Music Courses and Concerts - Monday 10 October: Bridget Kerrison (soprano) Tom Caldecote (clarinet) and Trevor Hughes (piano) benslowmusic.org/index.asp?page…

A long time ago!!!

Back home after a very moving concert. It really was something very special! Rebecca Miller and Sophie Kauer made some very special moments in the Elgar. I’m feeling very lucky to be part of this orchestra. I was struggling to hold it together by the the last page of the Dvorak.

St Mary’s Church, Hitchin This Saturday 7:30pm. Barber’s Adagio for Strings as well as less familiar works by Victor Herbert and Florence Price. Local musician, Tom Caldecote 🎵 will be the soloist in Copland’s wonderful Clarinet Concerto. eventbrite.co.uk/e/postcards-fr… 🎻

So am I!!!!

We had the pleasure of a large group of school children, from the local area, attend our open rehearsals yesterday. Watching a professional chamber orchestra and an extremely talented classical guitarist perform must have left a lasting impression. Future musicians maybe?
