What Jimmy said
I’m sure that I’m one of millions looking today at years of careful investment decisions being - let us hope temporarily - trashed by one vindictive, ignorant and economically illiterate man. Both Wall Street and Main Street need to stand up to him - and fast. #trump

It's the murkiest of fen mist mornings here in Cambridge - but Girton's new long border is still looking glorious!

Really excited that @CamUniCMP is working with Louisa Denby, @jamesmpotter and @CamChoralAwards on this pioneering scheme to open the joy of choral music to a wider range of @Cambridge_Uni students. Get those applications in!
Excited about this new scheme for students here and hope we get a good uptake @CamUniCMP @CamChoralAwards

Exciting times ahead for @GirtonCollege as we plan a building project which will allow us to expand our founding vision of inclusive excellence much more broadly - and do it sustainably. Gort Scott wins contest for major Cambridge college expansion

Definitely the place to be a week on Sunday for any Girtonians in London! See you there!
Already getting excited about this. Free at the door; retiring collection; a whole year in a single summer’s evening with the one and only @GirtonChoir (who are currently on tour in Portugal https://t.co/IIxL1lNdT6)

All of us at @CamUniCMP are thrilled to be hosting Finland's premier symphonic chorus - the Helsinki Music Centre Choir - at @Cambridge_Uni this week! Looking forward to their special joint concert with @CUSChorus at @GreatStMarys tomorrow evening...
We are so chuffed to be welcoming our Finnish friends to Cambridge this week! There’s still time to grab a ticket for our concert on Saturday! 😊 #AreWeFinnishedYet #ChoirFun

Earlier this week we welcomed the fabulous composer @ErrollynWallen to our @GirtonCollege community as almost certainly our coolest Honorary Fellow (she lives in a lighthouse and has written 22 operas!). Here's a survivors' photo from the end of what was a joyful evening 😍

Privileged to have been there. It would have been an extraordinary performance from any conductor. Here's to the Resurrection Symphony in October! THANK YOU @londonsymphony and @mtilsonthomas!
“It was as though the orchestra was not just playing for Tilson Thomas the conductor but for Tilson Thomas the human being.” @Becca_JF21 captures an extraordinary evening of Mahler @londonsymphony https://t.co/YSYO0pXxCJ

Tonight's @GNRailUK rail replacement bus from Cambridge yet again rocked up 20 mins later than advertised and with about a quarter of the number of seats required. When is this weekly misery going to end @networkrail?

Such a joyful evening celebrating the talented young musicians who have been through the first year of @CamUniCMP's new Advanced Popular Performance Scheme!

I've been thinking about this all week. Of the country's instrumental music teachers, only 25% now work in state schools (54% in private). Even though 94% of kids are state educated. A generation of young people are being denied access to music-making. https://t.co/0kdPSB07wV

Hi @greateranglia, what on earth are you thinking of putting on short trains between Liverpool Street and Cambridge on a day when the King's Cross line is down and there are thousands of people trying to travel from the football? Totally crazy!

Delighted to be partnering with @camfm972 to get original music from @Cambridge_Uni heard!
Do you know musicians from the University of Cambridge who you want to get out on air? The @CamUniCMP is launching a new playlist that’ll do exactly that — and we’re excited to be working with them! 1/4 🧵
