- Zadok . This sounds amazing. Amazing. This ceremony is NOTHING without the music and the musicians. Remember this current & future members of parliament .
- baby shark for contra trio & descant bassoon? Happy times. Thanks to @pierresparkler !
00:00 - Yes, it’s another of “those” videos in progress. Boy it feels good to count rests again, um... #contrabassoonlyfe
00:00 - This is absolutely AWFUL. 46 redundancies across 3 orchestras. BBC Singers totally axed - the only group of its kind . Speechless.
- It’s super that some of you musicians out there are busy, really really great. But. Please remember the rest of us are still in or only just emerging from the banana bread times. And still worried.
- An exciting journey ahead !Pleased to announce that @frasercontra will be taking over as our new Head of Woodwind from February 2021. Congratulations, Fraser 👏 bit.ly/3l6wd6h
- Glared at by two women when I sneezed into my mask (standing room only train) Neither wearing masks. “Put yours on then, we should all be wearing them” I said loudly. Stared back at me… as they slowly put their masks on. Yeah. There we go.
- Manchester already has Opera North. The whole reason Opera North was created was as a representation of English National Opera for the North of England . This is so stupid. London needs ENO.
- Let me just take a moment to say, that as the Head of Woodwind @RoyalAcadMusic I come from a working class background. I am passionate abt access to the highest quality of musical education for ALL.
- The sun DID shine and we played loudly for the politicians in the hope they hear us . @letmusicliveuk
- Dear Music Business, Can’t fit a full orchestra on stage/in the pit due to covid rules? Just bought exciting new reduced orchestrations of masterpieces? Please don’t forget how amazing a full symphony orchestra used to sound. Yours, Out of work wind, brass &percussion players.
