Gorgeous (very blustery) walk up Lantern Pike today which is all covered with wild blueberries and blackberries

Lovely event last night marking the launch of @alexdariescu new album @philharmonia @lu_tianyilu of concertos by Grieg and Clara Schumann - and great cupcakes!

Great to hear @BBCSSO on such brilliant form last night @bbcproms with @gemmanewmusic @mcgillab - a very magical semi-staged performance of Midsummer Night’s Dream @NYCOScotland @MoyoAkande @EwanSBlack

So great to hear Sir Mark Elder’s final @bbcproms as @the_halle Music Director last night in a totally fizzing @RoyalAlbertHall - music by Mahler and @jamesmacm

So well said @NickyBenedetti

“Music and… and creativity are part of a first-class education for everyone” Violinist and Edinburgh International Festival director Nicola Benedetti says she wants to see more focus on arts education in schools #BBCLauraK https://t.co/2TNyWS0wsy

Stunning morning in Marple

Gorgeously still Dublin morning

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Nature’s Music on Saturday night!  RNCM students performed throughout @McrMuseum’s galleries, creating a soundtrack to our natural world that echoed from every corner.   📸 Charlotte Wellings

It has been a remarkable week @rncmlive with the final 3 profound yet utterly joyous projects of our ‘Future is Green’ theme - the Silent Planet, Community Opera Silverwood and a takeover of @McrMuseum - beautiful examples of true collaboration that is at the heart of the RNCM

Thanks for opening up @McrMuseum to all our @rncmlive musicians - it was a magical evening

Good to hear that Labour Leader @Keir_Starmer said that music was his favourite subject at school https://t.co/QXogo1rlL3
