I am delighted to learn that Classical Africa has been nominated for this prestigious award.
And here am with the double section of the @SANYOF
with whom I conducted Copland, Sibelius and Mazanendaba by the South African composer Melissa van der Spuy.
Classical Africa is a thrilling showcase of classical music composed on the continent of Africa from @overcoatmedia for @BBCRadio3, presented by double bassist Leon Bosch who shares his moving personal journey and relationship with his birth country South Africa. #RPSAwards

The @mzansiphilharmonic double bass section, all of whom I've taught at some point. Leading this section requires me to practise what I have preached. They are all diligent and remarkable musicians.

It is an inspiration to get together with my South African compatriots in the UK to play chamber music.
