What a joy to start the afternoon @BirmCons @MyBCU with a recital by the great Roderick Williams (& Andrew West) who gave us a gorgeous tour of Victorian (et al) orientalism ending with songs by Harry T Burleigh, the composer who introduced Dvorak to African-American music.

Bluesky seems to be the new Twitter and seems happy, like here used to feel. Not easy to build up a new following, I’ve been here since 2011 with 2k+ followers now, whereas I’ve been on Bluesky since December 2023 and have 157 followers. Worth it though! bsky.app/profile/organistpau…

The world might be heading to hell in the proverbial, but we still have music. At the end of a stressful 24 hrs it was great to have my 1st experience of our magnificent new Juliet Organ, built by William Drake Ltd & being launched in an enterprising festival @BirmCons this week

🎻Music education can be as much about listening and inspiration, as it is playing. That’s why we organised for the children of @Prior_Weston school to be treated to a performance by Hana Chang, @YCATrust artist and nominee for @ClassicFM’s Rising Stars of 2024! Sound on!!🔊 ✨
