I’ve known him for nearly 20 years when I was lucky enough to work on many @rbo_org productions with him at the helm. One of the great #conductors - sublime communicator. Interviewing him was no challenge but an honour.

The #StandWithStreetwise emergency appeal is the most critical campaign in our 22-year history. Donate now at justgiving.com/campaign/stan…
Final leg of my Australia trip to the now very familiar and welcoming Perth for our 2024 Women on the Podium symposium @PerthSymphony. Lots of talented conductors, wonderful colleagues, morning ocean dip at South Freo beach, followed Wild Bakery.
First stop on my Australia tour - @MelbSymphony masterclass with participants from the Australian Conducting Academy, then coaching @MelbourneOpera Richard Divall Artists. And catching up with old friends. Next stop Adelaide.
Happy #NewReleaseFriday! Gustav Holst's anniversary has also shone a light on his daughter Imogen. An accomplished composer herself, and pivotal in founding @nmcrecordings, who celebrate their own 35th birthday with her orchestral music. Try them here ▶️ spoti.fi/400asdn

A wonderful comment from a student in a rehearsal of the @rodolfusfound Choral Course, seeing Holst Nunc Dimittis for the first time: “Oh… Gustav Holst? I haven’t heard of him. Is he related to Imogen Holst?” 👏
Very excited to be at the first night of the @bbcproms as a guest on the @bbcworldservice with @andrewCDmcg A wonderful start to the season and superb conducting @itselimchan brava brava! And @bennobuto Hallelujah Sim - just brilliantly we witty!
All schools (including academies) required to follow the national curriculum - this means ALL schools must teach music. It’s a no-brainer, of course, but worth celebrating nonetheless. schoolsweek.co.uk/labour-edu…
