If you are hiring an @Avis rental car from Sacramento airport watch out for their agent Diego. Diego turns on the charm, whilst at every turn adding additional insurances, waivers and upgrades to your rental without telling you. Be less @avis. Be less Diego.

Here’s a joke for you @yolandabrown . What do English teachers call Santa’s little helpers? Subordinate Clauses #christmasclassics

Oh what a night! Fab to see @ScottsPark_Sch, part of @orion_education, at the @OfficialBYMT School Proms at @FairfieldHalls in Croydon this week with @alexjackman. Wonderful performance as an orchestra and as part of the massed choir! #AnOrchestraInEverySchool

Great to see and hear young musicians from @ScottsPark_Sch performing this morning at the Bromley Music Festival with their Director @alexjackman. Thrilled to take away a trophy and see the smiles and sense of achievement. One reason why there should be #AnOrchestraInEverySchool

Please listen, like and subscribe to Pitch Me Classical the new podcast from @LPOrchestra. Every fortnight @yolandabrown and LPO musicians unpack classical music conundrums or cliches. We start with Mozart. Is he the classical GOAT? lnk.to/pitch-me-classical?ut…

Honestly feeling that I have no need to hear Tchaik 6 again for at least a decade after tonight’s effort by @LPOrchestra with @kcanellakis. I have heard it done very well in this hall before but that was mind-blowing. A word too for quicksilver Beethoven by @vadymkholodenko

‘Peter Grimes changed my life’ says @RhonddaBryant at @UK_Music summer party. A politician who both attends cultural AND talks about it - and affirms the value of creative education. Good to see @yolandabrown @Philip_Flood @DavidWooding @jnjokugoodwin @Emily_Benn @ZoeFranklinLD

Take a bow! @echo_vocal tore it up this lunchtime on their @wigmore_hall debut. So many sounds, textures, great choral singing and beautiful individual voices. The good news is you can hear it too on their first album, Innocence. Get it here. prestomusic.com/classical/pr…

Hello @UrbanJungle_ins. So your idea of fair insurance is increasing my home insurance premium by £150 - almost a 100% rise just because it’s now not my first year now?. Obvs I’ve cancelled and gone elsewhere. if you’d just gone for a sensible increase you’d have hung on to me.

The beginning, or just the beginning of the end of the journey? @lporchestra gathers in force for the first rehearsal of the finale of its Covid-interrupted Ring Cycle. Gotterdammerung, is performed for the first time in its history on 27 April. Ring master Vladimir Jurowski.

1798 had Napoleon & the Irish rebellion so maybe it wasn’t so rosy then. It sure isn’t now. But Haydn wrote The Creation and we heard it tonight. @LPOrchestra, @lpchoir, @fatboyclayton, @louisealdersop - a sparkling evocation of the world before it went to hell in a handcart.

Great evening celebrating the future of creativity at the @arts_foundation Futures Awards. @echo_vocal starred alongside amazing nominees and winners singing music from their forthcoming EP of John Barber’s music.

This is amazing. The only way to hear the football results. Now that the voice is back to how it used to be in the 1990s this Man Utd fan just wishes that the results were too…
