So sad to hear this news. It was such a pleasure to interview him earlier this year for @BBCRadio3 Music Matters - he was wise, engaging, witty and full of ideas and plans for his 100th birthday. RIP, Maestro.
Sad news just announced, but what a remarkably long and deeply musical life. Tonight on In Tune @BBCRadio3, @PetrocTrelawny pays tribute to Herbert Blomstedt: one of the most outstanding and respected conductors of his generation.

I gave my final public concert as a violinist @BarkhamExmoor alongside Charles Matthews. 🎻
As I close this chapter with gratitude, I’m excited to begin the next: continuing my work as Artistic Director of @ii_academy with Charles joining us as Honorary Associate Artist. 🎶

3 @bbcproms concerts this week, every one has been packed. @RoyalAlbertHall is full, with audiences of all ages proving that classical music is alive and thriving.
The arts are not a luxury—they’re an investment in our culture, education and economy. 🎻🎶 #SupportTheArts @DCMS
I booked tickets for 9 @bbcproms 3 all ready finished 😢Elgar 1 next week @BBCSSO

Beethoven’s Ninth at the @bbcproms is always a spectacle. But when it’s preceded by the most remarkable new commission by Jessie Montgomery, performed by @Abel_Cellist and the @BBCPhilharmonic under Gianandrea Noseda, it makes for a genuinely unforgettable night.
Wonderful performance, have been to 3 proms this week. Elgar 1 next week!
You could hear a pin drop at the end of that Mahler 6. The @BBCSO was on blisteringly good form at the @bbcproms tonight, under their Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo. A privilege to hear such brilliant and incisive music-making.

Loved chatting with @theweekjunior about this year’s @bbcproms season, and sharing why the festival is such a good introduction to classical music for children. Full interview in this week’s magazine.
