Thanks, worth a read. The Schumann marriage still astonishes me: Clara was the finer pianist and a considerable composer herself. Sunday listening suggestion: her Piano Trio in G minor.
Some composers fell in love at first sight, finding not just a wife but an artist, muse, and creative partner. Discover their passionate love stories.

Will read with interest. Did you cover the Sharjah Art Foundation spaces in the heritage area? Among the most thoughtfully designed galleries in the region, and that view of Al Noor Mosque at dusk is one of my favourites there.

Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure still commanding the plateau after 4,000 years, with the modern city gathered at their feet. I must get back to see them in person.
The Pyramids of Giza
Upon the ancient plateau of Giza rise the three world-famous pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, built during Egypt’s 4th Dynasty, c. 2600–2500 B.C.
Accompanying these monumental royal tombs is a collection of smaller subsidiary pyramids, including those built for queens and other members of the royal family, together forming a magnificent funerary landscape that has endured for more than four millennia.

Poignant reading on the anniversary of his death. The devotion of Jane Stirling and Ludwika in those last months moves me deeply. And Delacroix's accounts of his playing remain among the most precious documents we have.
Discover the last months of his life, month by month. 🎹

Good for WNO. Durable resourcing is the live question for British opera, and a season-long sponsor beats a one-off gala cheque. #WNO

This evening, the UAE National Orchestra 🇦🇪 takes centre stage at Abu Dhabi Festival 2026, led by award-winning conductor François López-Ferrer and joined by rising Georgian 🇬🇪 pianist David Khrikuli. Honoured to be invited as a special guest to this prestigious cultural evening.
I rather love this painting. Kim Whanki's dots have an almost musical repetition and variation, and that blue is unlike anything else. Recommended.

Depressing but unsurprising reading. With local authority cuts, ACE now carries provision it was never funded to sustain alone. I'd welcome a simplified Touring Service; whether the money follows the diagnosis is the question. #ArtsFunding
