Proof, if it were needed, that five-star performances from our BBC orchestras don't only take place during the @bbcproms. We broadcast this brilliant concert live on @BBCRadio3 last night, and it's on @BBCSounds for the next 30 days:

A brilliantly thought-through sequence of music by Thorvaldsdottir, Ligeti and John Luther Adams made for a powerful and immersive experience

It was fantastic to host the @alva_uk Fundraising Forum today @leedscastleuk and to share our fundraising journey as well as hearing from lots of inspirational speakers!
We’ve had the most superb and inspiring day in the beautiful setting of @leedscastleuk - it’s been our Heads of Fundraising forum and we’ve heard from our hosts, @OfficialZSL, @LDN_Museum & Cultural Capital Partners on topics as diverse as legacies, naming partnerships & GiftAid

History rarely names its infrastructures while they’re being built. • Gold was just metal until it became money. • TCP/IP was just plumbing until it became the internet. Bitcoin may be next. See my latest article: The Movement to Anchor Stablecoins on Bitcoin 🔗

Today is Gift Aid Awareness Day, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who adds Gift Aid when purchasing tickets. Every Gift Aid contribution helps us reclaim 25p for every £1 spent, allowing us to continue to tell the story of Bletchley Park for the future

We are not being singled out, all third nations will be impacted by these tariffs equally. The only thing that separates us from these other nations, is that we did this to ourselves.

Update on the the burglary at @StFagans_Museum via @BBCWalesNews - Two charged over gold artefacts stolen from museum: https://t.co/Nvudw0vGCY
bbc.co.uk
Jewellery from the Bronze Age collection held at the St Fagans Museum was taken in a break-in on Monday.
Saddened to hear the news about a burglary at @StFagans_Museum. I recently visited them to talk about their upcoming exhibitions and projects - they do such a good job at chronicling the history of Welsh life. Thankfully no one was hurt. Please keep your eyes peeled. 👇

Visitor Levy: if only @scotgov had gone (like Wales) for a simple flat fee (a) in the original law, as we asked, or (b) in amends over the last year, as the industry has repeatedly urged! We welcome @Ivan_McKee saying he is “actively considering” a change- but it is needed NOW!
Wales gets it right. 👏👏 A simple STL register and an affordable simple flat fee levy.of £1.30. 🏴 however has tied itself up in complex, costly and pointless red tape. @Ivan_McKee

I visited Handsworth this afternoon to shine a light on the strong sense of community spirit there. The people of Handsworth are rightly proud of their culture and heritage and anyone suggesting otherwise is simply wrong.

Lord Heseltine, "I wouldn't touch Nigel Farage" "I hear of talk about a pact with Reform UK" "We can see Reform UK, all over Europe. Le Penn in France. AfD in Germany. Same equivalent in Italy, Spain" "It's all the same stuff"

Heseltine at Tory conf: "Fascists of the 30s are back... Trump's language coincides with words here... The immigrant has replaced the Jew... We must make clear we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Farage. We don't need Trump's mouthpiece anywhere near No.10”.
