A fantastic Spring Season, can't wait for the summer ☀️

A great piece from The Guardian about the state of the arts in the UK. The sooner we get a government with a proper vision for a country where culture is essential to life, not pitted against health and education, instead collaborating with them, the better!

Things I like to see on a Tuesday

This week's #Succession surely cements the show's place as one of the greatest TV programmes of all time. That was breathtaking!

A cheeky pic from backstage rehearsals...
So proud of our NYOS Development Orchestra and their performance this evening. Fantastic work from conductor Natalia Luis-Bassa and soloist Ethan Loch. Very emotional. Our young people were on fire! Well done everyone 🎶

It's finally here...

The first concert by the NYOS Development Orchestra and my first concert since I joined the company!

Super excited 🎉🎺🎶🎷🪇🎻🪈🤩

Well done to all involved

Did not always agree with everything she said, that's the joy of politics, but I am very grateful to Nicola Sturgeon for being a leader I could be proud of. Thank you Nicky 👏
