Following Lord Melvyn Bragg’s House of Lords debate on the vital importance of the arts to the UK’s society and economy, we have created a petition to fund music at state schools to the level provided in private schools. Please share and sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6565…

What a night! I think I could see smoke coming out of the orchestra with all the furious playing in my 1922! Thanks BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus for giving it everything! And especially to Marin Alsop for giving the piece so much time and care in the rehearsals. Couldn’t have asked for any more ❤️

Fabulously festive première! Congratulations James B. Wilson Thrilled you’re going to write me a 🎻piece.
