A privilege to attend @MusiciansComp Installation Dinner at Goldsmiths' Hall last night to be awarded the Mortimer Medal. It was brilliant to share the occasion with @childseuphonium who won the Iles Medal.
Congrats to all the other winners too. Let's ' Keep Music Live' 🎶

At the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, silence fell over #RWCMD as staff and students stood to remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms.
Diolch #RWCMDBrass student Thomas Evans who played #LastPost in commemoration.
