Interesting article from @RichmoMusic in @thetimes today - as a huge curling fan AND a violist in the @RSNO it hits home. thetimes.com/culture/art/art…

Enjoy the Olympic curling! (It’s costing us £630,000 per athlete)

Even in a sport as inherently niche as curling, you are showered with subsidy, whereas if you work in a serious artform you have to prove how diverse and inclusive you are

We were thrilled to launch the partnership alongside Charanga and Culture Minister @ChristinaSNP at St Rose of Lima Primary School this morning. Thank you to all of the children for their wonderful singing and music-making! 📸 John Young

This piece always leaves me an emotional wreck and this week has been no different. A poignant week to perform it remembering my grandparents who gave so much for my freedom. 🌺 So proud of my @RSNO and @RSNOChorus family.

An incredible night performing Britten's War Requiem for the second time with Thomas Søndergård, our Chorus, Youth Chorus, and soloists Susanne Bernhard, Benjamin Appl and Magnus Walker. Special thanks to Magnus for stepping in at the last minute and doing a brilliant job!

I did not realize it was 'bring your Ewok to work' day! :) Wonderful, as always, to hear @RSNO play. Tonight it was The music of Star Wars! And a very eager audience! :)

It’s #SantaPawsDay - the day all our dogs get to pick their Christmas gift! Sadly, we couldn’t fit them all in, but we hope the pure joy of the ones we did makes you smile! To all our supporters and everyone who sent a gift, thank you! We hope you have a very Merry Christmas! 💛

Being immersed in the breadth, depth and colour of a huge symphony orchestra at full pelt is almost too much to bear, almost. It’s been too long. @RSNO @theusherhall #viewfromthestage

Autumn veg haul - either my sweet corn are massive or my pumpkin have had growth issues (it’s the latter btw). #sizematters

Such an honour to work with the legend that is Sir Roger and the amazing @francescadego The kind of ‘working all weekend’ that puts a smile on your face. @RSNO

The Maestro is in the tent! Always a thrill to work with Gergiev, terrifying and joyous in equal measure! Lucky people who have tickets for our two @RSNO sold out shows tonight. #viewfromthestage

Yesterday’s #viewfromthestage with the lovely @itselimchan and @solgabetta Classic musicians don’t usually love playing outside but the EIF have really created something special in this venue - lovely to play as the sun sets and the atmospheric lights come on! @RSNO

I’d forgotten that bit of adrenaline, it sits in the pit of your stomach waiting to pounce when the downbeat strikes. Without an audience, music has been a mic, a camera, an empty hall for 18 months but here we are performing live again. #viewfromthestage @RSNO

Lucky me to be the proud owner of this amazing painting of my favourite piece. You can still watch the @rsno performance online as part of their digital season.
