Been to soooo many @musicforyouth events over the years but today had pleasure of watching my daughter perform at one, in a beautiful first performance of a new singing and signing choir with @eastridingmusic at @HullMusicHub
And the show still goes on! More promising and talented young musicians are taking to the stages at this week's Regional Festivals in #Hull, #Birmingham, #Harrogate, #Huddersfield, #Northampton and #Norfolk. 👉 https://t.co/TnS9WnjBCx

Borrowed some small people this morning to take to A Day at the Pond by @theoae and @southasianartuk, supported by @OrchestrasLive and East Riding Arts as part of #ClassicallyYours. Lovely way to spend a morning 😌

Enjoyed La Boheme with 1800 pupils today @RoyalOperaHouse. The School Matinees must be the loudest and best responses the performers ever receive. Such a delight!

Reducing discrimination and harassment, having opportunities to play in different kinds of venues, working with communities more and working across genres. As ever, it was energising to be challenging by young people. Great to hear about the work of orchestras in place-making,

They want opportunities that are local to where they live. They need access to spaces, instruments, equipment and teachers. They want access to these things on evenings, weekends and in holidays.
