Another wonderful concert at Wigmore Hall this time with the @ubuntuensemble in the The African Concert Series.And for those of you who think that my baton has supplanted my double bass, think again. Gagliano and I still relish the thrill of creating sound with my bow.

It's father's day today, and I have to thank my sons Aleksandr Bosch and Jonathan Bosch for their wonderful gift. I can foresee a time when I shall sit on my balcony, writing books in the morning, and strumming my guitar at twilight.

I first set foot in the concert halls of the Southbank Centre in 1982. 43 years later, I'm still at it, performing in public as a double bassist. As a conductor, I probably still have another 30 years left in me! From now onwards, my audiences will be looking at my back instead.
