I am delighted to learn that Classical Africa has been nominated for this prestigious award. And here am with the double section of the @SANYOF with whom I conducted Copland, Sibelius and Mazanendaba by the South African composer Melissa van der Spuy.
Classical Africa is a thrilling showcase of classical music composed on the continent of Africa from @overcoatmedia for @BBCRadio3, presented by double bassist Leon Bosch who shares his moving personal journey and relationship with his birth country South Africa. #RPSAwards

What a pleasure it was to finally record Schubert's Trout Quintet with my own ensemble, @IMusicantiEns And to pair it with Hummel's Piano Quintet Op.114a was an added bonus.

This was on 14th June 1984 when my duo partner Anthony John Thwaites and I performed a recital, in the Recital Room of Royal Northern College of Music, to raise funds for The Ida Carroll Trust, which was then in the process of being set up.

A RARE MUSICAL EVENT The first performance in modern times of the Cello Concerto in C major by the classical era composer Johann Matthias Sperger (1750 - 1812) If you like Haydn's C major concerto, then you are really going to love Sperger's Concerto!

I am especially looking forward to conducting the first performance in modern times of Johann Matthias Sperger's cello concerto.
Our cultural consultants have been working with @leonbosch for number of years now, so we're really looking forward to the chance to watch him conduct the @TheHanoverBand on 23 Feb @KingsPlace. It's sure to be an unforgettable evening...🎶 Image by

The kind of comment that provides fuel to one's musical fire - thank you Marg. It is also a tribute to the Catalan virtuoso/composer Josep Cervera-Bret whose music features in this YouTube video: Publications are available here:

It is always an honour when ex-students come back for advice, years after they've joined the profession. Nathan Knight brought his duo partner along yesterday for some work on Bottesini and Elgar. It is vital to have a regular duo partner to work with!

Perspective is everything, and from my vantage point, humanity appears to have lost its way. Carl Sagan's inspiring words are a poignant reminder of our solemn responsibility to each other. Happy New Year to my family and friends around the world 🥂

@luvselgar @IMusicantiEns It is indeed, and we've coupled it with a Hummel Piano Quintet that shares the same Opus No......114!
