A privilege to be invited by my old friend James Williams to give the annual Crees Lecture at @RCMLondon last night. A welcome opportunity to talk about the media landscape, the importance of public service broadcasting, @BBCRadio3, the @bbcproms, and lots more besides.

We appeal to those in power @cardiffuni to cherish and protect @cardiffunimusic. Matching the pride that Wales famously possesses for its musicians, the School of Music takes such care training its students, and the UK music profession embraces all they have to offer.

Bringing a little of the outdoors in.
Some #Forsythia that I cut on #NewYearsDay and put in water, now brightening our kitchen.

100,000 people still without power. And where are they? In the north west and west. In the dark and silenced. Never mind making a cup of tea, they can’t make a phone call. There was frost last night and no heat. It’ll soon be a full week. I’m sick talking about this

Quite the line up of young professionals here. What a legacy, building from studies @Music_at_York and all of these singers had lessons with me or Alex Ashworth. Very proud of their accomplishments! Team work. @ifagiolini
🌟Meet @thelyonsmouth 🌟 a vibrant vocal ensemble made up of young professional singers who previously studied @uniofyork under Robert Hollingworth (@ifagiolini) 🎶

Huge thanks to the RPS (who’ve done so much for me already), kind nominees, & supporters of the award Sir Simon & Victoria, Lady Robey CBE.

Madness. An outstanding music department (along with many others) is just going to be thrown in the bin.
Have we lost all sense of value today?
#BreakingNews Cardiff University has set out proposals to cut 400 jobs and close a number of degree programmes, including nursing and music, due to a funding shortfall

Here's something exciting for 2025 - we're delighted to share 25 new BBC commissions, written by some of the most exceptional composers of our time. Each piece is inspired by significant events that have defined the first quarter of the 2000s.
Hear the first on Saturday Morning with Tom Service. Anna Clyne's composition is performed by the @BBCPhilharmonic and reflects on The London Eye and the start of a new millennium. 🎇
