Was very excited to see Chapman tonight @ThePianoUK and was reminded it must be @theambertrust concert time. Very chuffed to have got our tickets (our 3rd year) for next Sunday! Wouldn’t it be great if they sold out?! @mikasounds @JonBatiste Was thru The Piano I discovered Amber.
One month to go! Chapman is so excited to be part of The Amber Trust’s 30th Anniversary Concert, celebrating the amazing talents of young blind and partially sighted musicians from across the UK. #blindpianist #ChapmanShum #ambertrust #visualimpairment

As always, we’re really enjoying the annual @Ri_Science Christmas Lectures. They may be designed for children, but their imaginative way of demonstrating #science is great for for any age. Thanks @DoctorChrisVT and the team for making learning fun! #health #food #Xmaslectures.
Don't miss the final of the 2024 Christmas Lectures, supported by @CGI_global!. Tonight, @DoctorChrisVT will analyse how our diets have changed through history, and how global food systems affect our health and our planet. Tune in to BBC Four and iPlayer at 9pm! #XmasLectures
