In amongst all the doom and gloom, I’m going to cheer myself up by going to this concert @cadoganhall in aid of @HelpMusicians - if @rainerhersch can’t put a smile on my face then no one can. And, let’s face it, #musicians need all the help they can get right now.

Thanks to everyone that attended Saturday's April Fool's Gala, and to @RainerHersch for creating such a fun event to raise funds for Help Musicians. @DameEvelyn, @zebsoanes, @EarlOkin, James Oldfield and all the performers were brilliant, it was a great evening.

Well that was a wonderfully BONKERS night on stage with @rainerhersch and @DameEvelyn at the @cadoganhall in aid of @HelpMusicians — an orchestrated Shipping Forecast (in which I got very wet) and The History Of Music (in 5 minutes!) Lovely to be supported by @tasminlittle too 🙏 – at Camden Town, London

Do yourself a favour and listen to these two EXTRAORDINARY music comedy geniuses. @rainerhersch interviews @harrythepiano 🤩 Also, I may, or may not, get a shout out‼️ . . . SPOILER: I do! 😁
On today's 'Proms in the Pub', I chat with improvising genius Harry the Piano. Scooby-Doo in the style of Mozart? no problem; Ludwig van Beethoven doing 'News at Ten'? child's play. Sit back and enjoy. bit.ly/HarryThePiano @ClassicalMusic_ @mvdaily @MusicMagazine

Loved this interview Roxanna❣️Especially, that you 'made' Gergiev wait!! 🙄 You've also made me feel so much better about my reliance of Sibelius' magic notation software! 😬 😁 Happy days I wish for you 🎶

Here’s an interview I gave about my @bbcproms appearance on Sunday morning with @RNSinfonia and @dinispsousa I’m so looking forward to bringing this concerto back to the Proms.
'Proms in the Pub' today features hugely entertaining Nick Daniel @ndanielmusic: feeling the LURVE of the Proms audience, composers' illegible handwriting and what can happen if you don't rehearse EVERYTHING - including what you are going to wear LISTEN: bit.ly/NicholasDaniel

When Tasmin Little stood on the stages of the world’s great concert halls, poised to launch into a concerto, she instinctively breathed in and played her first note on an outward breath. bit.ly/3yDBpHK
Lots of fun & laughter chatting to the ever-hilarious @rainerhersch about @bbcproms - we’re looking at the coming #season & sharing stories & experiences! Do listen (& laugh!)

At 94 years old, I never imagined that i'd ever be new to anything again, but i'm new to Twitter! This is my first Tweetle. This will show my grandson that I can get down with the young ones. The only problem I have, is getting back up again!
