A rare slip @amolrajan on Today, but with implications! Houses of Multiple Occupation (not Occupancy)
They love their outside concerts in Southern Italy, while those on the stage struggle! There was once a huge rain storm in Avellino (beyond Napoli). The audience sat on the Monastery's stairs. Somehow there was enough space for players' bows and the acoustics helped us.
A cello is always with us. Well done, Julian! We have fond memories of recording this 12 years ago.

Generaldirektor und Nachrichtenchefin der #BBC müssen wegen nachweislich gezielter Desinformation ihren Posten räumen. In einigen Jahren werden auch in Deutschland solche Schritte erfolgen.
Great to hear @RachPodger live @BBCRadio3, while waiting for her performance with Brecon Baroque @klfestival on July 19. Could you back announce this?
Looks very like the wonderful buildings of England's Hanseatic town with its famous 74-year old Festival @KLFestival (and an artistic director formerly well known across Europe)

For 20 years EUCO was always in a far distant country, invited by EU Delegations for their Europe Day celebrations. Often such stirring speeches were given just before we went on stage. Then the EU Commission decided to only fund the (expensive) Youth Orchestra.....
As we prepare for our 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 🇲🇩𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗼𝘃𝗮 on 🇪🇺Europe Day 2025, we are honoured by the words of @GlennMicallef , 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁.

The last sentence of the article sums up a problem. Learning how to listen to music, for audience satisfaction, is more important than shrill participatory activities which schools and music hubs prefer because kids have fun. Rarely do they lead to serious musical understanding
Looking forward very much to Ben's recital with the wonderful Daniel Lebhardt this Friday in the Town Hall @KLFestival
✨ At YCAT, we are enormously privileged to support each artist’s unique journey.
Together, our focus is not simply on the next milestone, but on helping our artists discover who they are, exploring their creativity, and building authentic and sustainable careers.

I was so excited to learn German at school. It was a new code to decipher, access to a new bunch of countries to add to French, words and grammar that were closer to English (and words that made a teenage boy chuckle), the door to Dutch, Swedish and Afrikaans. #ShoutOutForGerman
One very positive outcome of 1990 was that wonderful East German musicians could come to play in the then ECCO. Much enthusiasm from them (and from Brussels)
Indeed fun, even fascinating. A conductor who we worked with in the mid-1980s would always say that 'East of Rosenheim is not the same!'.
Looking forward to returning to Vienna this weekend to discuss the state of Germany at the famous Burgtheater. Discussing Germany in Austria is always fun - a curious mix of distance and familiarity. If you happen to be in town, come along👇🇦🇹🇩🇪

Fantastic news! @EUCO1 worked a lot with the British Council over the years and indeed performed in Manila in 1991.....on one of our first Asian tours for the EU Commission. Important talks with their Ambassador (in his garden) led to good future orchestral connections.
Excited to announce that I have been chosen as a recipient of @phBritish 2025 "Connections Through Culture" programme. I will be working closely with musicians in Manila and Leyte, #Philippines later this year.

Bravo YCAT! Sadly the ecology is being upset as the number of concerts outside UK major cities diminishes. Young talents need work but regional promoters need help to cover costs & their fees. Look at chambermusicfund.org.uk & help fund it to sustain opportunities for them.
We are so grateful for the overwhelming support for YCAT during our 40th Anniversary season!
A heartfelt thank you to Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, Principal of the Royal Academy of Music, for this inspiring endorsement of our work.

Elizabeth if it wasn't you putting this up I would think it's some kind of spoof! I've spent my whole working life in music and the arts and I sometimes now wonder what the point of it all was. Our culture really is running on empty.....
“While historic theatres & ballet companies face cuts, £100,000s have been splashed on ‘decolonising’ pole dancing. @ace_national should be funding worthwhile art projects instead of niche activism.”
The arm’s-length funding model’s broken. #SaveWNO

In the 1990s we provided expats once or twice a year with some much needed classical music. (Emirates Airlines allowed stopovers on their Asian routes without charge). In early 2000s we proposed to Abu Dhabi a residency. Within months a UAE Symph. Orch. existed + great venues
