"Leon Bosch is certainly a conductor to watch out for, possessing the rare ability to make period performance sound not merely historically informed but contemporarily relevant, rhythmically electrifying and viscerally thrilling."

Three inspiring days recording our second @ChandosRecords Sperger album with the wonderful @TheHanoverBand Symphonies Nos. 3 & 42, the Viola Concerto and Adagio for Viola & Strings - all unheard for over 200 years. Our mission continues: all 45 symphonies and concertos! #Sperger
This Sunday at 7pm, @BBCRadio3 broadcasts Leon Bosch, the Double Bass and the Children of Soweto.
It marks the 50th anniversary of the Soweto Uprising and tells part of my journey from a frightened 15 year old schoolboy to the musician I became.

A special reunion today.
Jasiel Peter arrived at Trinity Laban barely able to hold a bass. Through discipline and determination, he is now performing at the Royal Albert Hall with A. R. Rahman.
This is what teaching is about - transformation.
Nothing will hold him back. 🎶
🎻 A new orchestra is coming to Tring
On Sunday 12 April at 3:00pm, Tring Camerata makes its debut at the church St Peter & St Paul on the High Street.
A professional chamber orchestra, rooted right here in Tring.
Delighted to be represented by Hennessey Brown Music as conductor & soloist/director.
Huge thanks to Jonathan Hennessey-Brown for his tireless advocacy and belief in my work.

In April Clemmie Gee marks 10 years as my personal assistant.
Behind every concert, recording, article, broadcast, teaching commitment and journey is Clemmie ensuring everything works.
This photo shows her in my office today doing exactly that.
Thank you, Clemmie.
40 years. ❤️
On this day, Barbara and I were married; the best decision of my life.
Happy Ruby Anniversary Barbara!
Aleksandr, Jonathan and I have flourished because of her love.
Forty years on, we’re still looking out in the same direction, with more to do and enjoy together.

Thrilled to share that I Musicanti imusicanti.co.uk/ has been nominated for the International Classical Music Awards 2026! 📷
Thanks to my colleagues for bringing this project to life with such exquisite artistry.
What an honour to have this wonderful new string quintet, written for me and my ensemble @IMusicantiEns by the composer Ivor Hodgson
The string quintet with double bass is one of our core instrumentations and we look forward to recording it on @SOMMRecordings later this month
