Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer reflected today on how playing the flute gave him many opportunities at a young age.
Music has the power to enrich young people's lives. It is vital that Labour fulfils its pledge to put music and the arts back at the heart of our schools.

Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end 🎶)

‘Would that one of those mythical figures featured in Howell's oeuvre could whisk her back to Worcestershire, offer her a gin and tonic and play her these splendid performances.’ - lovely review in @GramophoneMag of Howell CD. @SignumRecords @PremierClassica @BBCCO @IkonArtsMgmt

Thanks to the advocacy of Rebecca Miller and support of @SignumRecords, orchestral music of almost-forgotten English composer Dorothy Howell - with its "imaginative orchestration" - now gets its due. It's the Presto "Recording of the Week." @rmconductor prestomusic.com/classical/ar…

Happy #NewReleaseFriday! I've been waiting for a record like this ever since I heard the gorgeous 'Lamia' five years ago @bbcproms. If @LeahBroad's 'Quartet' has led you to Howell then it's the record for you too this #InternationalWomensDay. Try it here spoti.fi/400asdn

Our new #discoftheweek is a fascinating album of orchestral music by Dorothy Howell. Consisting mostly of first recordings, it shows her flair for orchestration, brilliantly played by the @BBCCO under @rmconductor. Perfect for #IWD2024! Read our review tinyurl.com/mr2d52wu

What happens when two comedians conduct an orchestra? Chaos 😅
@robbeckettcomic and Romesh Ranganathan joined us for a sold-out performance at the @southbankcentre…it was definitely memorable 🤣 Watch it on @RobAndRomeshVs tomorrow on @SkyTV at 9pm.
