Britten's church parable Curlew River came to the atmospheric setting of Blythburgh Church for the Aldeburgh Festival @BrittenPears with exemplary direction. Audiences were transfixed by the remarkable cast, powerfully led by tenor Ian Bostridge. #RPSAwards

We had a magical evening with Sean for his last @BBCInTune. It’s the end of an era.
This was a lot of fun! Worth listening into @BBCSounds if you missed it. Some fabulous colleagues and a fitting send off for Sean.
The inimitable Sean Rafferty knows how to throw a party packed with fabulous live music and wonderful friends. Thank you for the music Sean! Listen @BBCRadio3 @BBCSounds bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0025d…

We greatly enjoyed performing Handel's Messiah yesterday at @ManCathedral, a perfect start to Advent and the Christmas season.
We had around 800 at the cathedral; one of our largest ever audiences. We can't wait to share more music with audiences later this season.
Thanks for all the lovely messages about Curlew River. I think the film is beautiful, so do catch it on @BBCiPlayer if you haven’t had chance yet
