every day 10s of 1000s of pilots do exactly this, but last Tuesday it was my turn.
After 3 years, and 100s of hours of training and study, I spent 7 weeks with the wonderful people at Air France.
Exhausted but qualified!

Bring on the Co Pilot / Commander jokes! 🥳 at least the captain will always be Sir 🧑🏼✈️ 🙇
Thanks to all for the good wishes, it’s an honour to be on the list with so many who’ve done so much in this terrible year.
Tonight I will stand to conduct, directly under the lamp used by Galileo Galilei to perform his investigations into oscillation of a pendulum. Bruckner’s music is a wonderful match.
Je fréquente, et j’aime, ma librairie locale pour les mêmes raisons que je vais au spectacle ou que je voyage: pour sortir mon esprit de sa zone de confort,pour apprendre l'empathie et la perspective. Le voyage fait partie de la culture, et la culture doit rester unie!

Tonight 1900 live video from Stockholm. Sibelius, Mahler, Bach, Purcell and Tranströmer. Solitude, isolation, loneliness. Sibelius’s 4th symphony, his courage to look at life and reality without filters and his pity for humankind.

Mahler Resurrection Symphony recorded live in Munich last September, on Austrian radio now. Seems a lifetime ago. I’ve rarely been more grateful to relive a concert experience!

The President of Germany marks 75 years since the end of the war in Europe.
The Arts provide wonderful entertainment, that’s important. They also help us learn that contradictory truths can coexist and be of equal value, that’s very important.
The long term threat to Arts and Culture in the UK, due to a shorter term crisis, is enormous.
