Coming up soon on my 50th anniversary #GoldbergVariations tour! Lunenburg, NS; Kingston ON, Duluth MN, Edmonton AB, Regina SK, Yokohama (Japan), and the opening night of the 2025 @TrasimenoMusic Festival in Perugia, Umbria on 26/6.
📽️ Quanto può essere intensa e duratura l’unione tra un musicista e una partitura? Quanto può modificarsi e arricchirsi nel corso del tempo? A raccontarcelo è @HewittJSB, nostra ultima ospite per la rassegna dei Pianisti del Lingotto con le #VariazioniGoldberg di Bach.

'This is something we can cure'
Brothers Jordan and Cian Adams both carry a faulty gene which means they'll develop frontotemporal dementia like their mum, aunt and grandmother.
They joined #BBCBreakfast in the studio as they run every day from John O'Groats to Land's End

This morning, we heard that the UK’s regulator has licensed Alzheimer’s drug, lecanemab, for sale in Britain – a landmark decision.
However, at the same time, we heard that it had not been deemed cost-effective for NHS use.
This is bittersweet news.
