Tonight’s Riot Ensemble concert at @TungAuditorium marks the end of my two years as a co-artistic director! 🥲. I’ll keep playing 🎹 and backing the group 💪 these are magnificent musicians programming cutting-edge, adventurous music with an international reach 🌍

🕷️🕸️ *one week to go* 🕸️🕷️. Riot’s next programme includes my piece for clarinet and piano, which is 18 years old this year but still very, VERY immature 😅. Book your ticket here: Grateful to @AusiasClarinet for playing and @allroadsmeet for the artwork!

African Pianism lecture recital with @RebecaOmordia this morning @rncmlive. What a wealth of discoveries, and such fantastic playing. Don’t miss her research forum tomorrow (Weds) at 4.15pm!

Honestly. I know there are many more important things in the world, but it’s infuriating that the clues on @MaskedSingerUK seem to bear precious little connection to the person in question. Sort it out @ITV! I’ve had to revisit this dreadful old network to complain about it 😅.

Yes, BlueSky seems a much friendlier place. Feel free to add me on there. I don’t see much news from friends and colleagues on twitter any more. Mind you, it can be useful to know what some people are up to (especially flawed, powerful people) so I won’t delete the app for now 🤨.

Very touching and personal exploration of Fauré by incredible colleague @kathystott, with brilliant pianistic and spoken contributions from @rncmlive alum @CarewKeelan. My fave bit is when Kathy plays the theme from the 1998 World Cup on the harmonium! ⚽️

Extraordinary commitment from the audience, including the ever marvellous Chris Hawtree. At the premiere in Buffalo there were 30 listeners at the start and 10 at the end. Yesterday we achieved more than that *and no one left*! Brighton wins again! 😍.
Four hours yesterday, sky darkening from 2.30 to 6.45, in Brighton to the sound of Morton Feldman's trio "For Philip Guston" with @AdamSwayne, Adam Bushell and Helen Whitaker. Fascinating, almost a full house, and talk afterwards about how much the mind concentrates on any music.

What an amazing piano department, and what a super crowd for our Week 2 concert! . Also what a wonderful college that lets us put on events like this. Moving and tuning six grands takes a huge effort before the music comes to life under the fingers of our brilliant pianists ❤️
