Strikes Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday this week. Slow hand clap, @lufthansa @vcockpit UFO union. Would love to see my family after 5 weeks away, I guess what’s an extra week eh? My sympathy for your striking pilots and crew is rapidly evaporating…

Elon Musk versucht vor der deutschen Bundestagswahl via X die AfD massiv zu pushen. Zuckerberg gibt Fakten Checks auf Meta auf – knapp bevor Trump Präsident wird. In Ö, whatever.
Just one Question: Why did we skip the roaring twenties in our century?

Opera is one of the great national creative assets. So much in Britain is broken. Opera is nearly broken but must be repaired. @TheRoyalOpera @glyndebourne My speech @UKHouseofLords 10/12/24

Along with Bax, Alwyn is one of the most underrated of composers (embarrassed to admit I haven’t yet discovered Carwithen, but looking forward to it). Please, especially UK orchestras, play more of them!
Excited for our friends @FaberMusic who entered a new publishing agreement with the William Alwyn Foundation to represent almost 150 compositions by both William Alwyn (1905-85) and Doreen Carwithen (1922-2003). Learn more and explore their music here:

How did I not know until now that you can link 2 iPads together to make a double page score in @forscoreapp? And on an entirely unrelated note (!), anyone have a cheap old 13 inch iPad they want to sell me?

Good to see Sir Simon setting the trend for ‘portfolio careers’ many years before it was cool… #lookalike

Realising that despite his genius, Stravinsky’s grasp of English syntax was not up to the task of setting a libretto by WH Auden… It’s taken me half an hour to work out the sense of a single aria (and I’m coming to it for the third time) #rakesprogress #nowordfromtom

One of those days when you open social media and the first thing you see is a photo of a dear colleague you know has not been well and you don’t even have to read the post… #lebwohlwolfgang 🖤
