Well-tempered Wednesday! Although no longer 'fashionable', Fischer's Bach recordings are treasures and utterly compelling. Spare a few minutes to enjoy his sparkling C-Sharp Prelude & Fugue and brighten up your Wednesday. youtu.be/yE4CSDpkmb0

Come and listen to the last piano sonatas by Haydn and Beethoven (and a little Schubert too)! The concert is free, but St James are raising money for a new piano so you can help local arts too. 😄

Desperately clinging onto the last hints of summer and haul myself out of this post-performance dip with a little Debussy. I spent June at a masterclass in Montepulciano and this brings all that warmth, freedom and inspiration flooding back. youtu.be/SL3JmULw5_w

Last concert of the year was Beethoven’s last Piano Sonata, and finishing my PGAD at Trinity Laban. Now feeling like I’m 5 again, beginning work on Dohnanyi’s Variations on a Nursery Tune. Here’s to a musical new year - Shana Tova! שנה טובה ומתוקה 🍏🍯🍎

Last week I gave a concert in Bexhill Irvine Unit, run by the fantastic Arts in Healthcare. The Unit helps people recovering from a stroke. The affect of these concerts demonstrates that music is vital to our wellbeing as humans, not a luxury for some elite #musicforall #Bexhill

Introducing Prince, this week’s practice buddy...

Well Tempered Wednesday! A crisp P&F for a crisp autumn day. Notice how the fugal subject is a visual representation of the cross and creates a more austere character following the feminine, flowing Prelude. #Welltemperedwednesday #jsbach youtu.be/ksN0KIN5Lus

A Sad Summer story/Schubert Health Warning: Snail brought in with the sweet peas. Had a blast travelling around the table. Found Schubert Impromptus. Munched through 5 pages. Crawled back to his flowery perch and died, belly full and pages still hanging out his mouth. #schubert

Maternity - Edmund Blair Leighton, 1917. #Leighton #Maternity

Thank you for having me! It’s been a real pleasure to make music with you all. A big bravo to the whole orchestra - what a rich programme and fantastically played!

Traveled through Salisbury (on way to lovely Bruton) on the train today at 2pm. The clouds were so dark grey and rich that the street lights had turned on. I don’t have the words to express why, but here’s the P&F for this feeling. #welltemperedwednesday youtu.be/CL00B8TQMBQ

So proud of my sister - what a pioneer of children’s literature!

What a lovely message to receive today. Many congratulations on the new instrument St James Muswell Hill !! You can hear the new piano at their recital series on the first Saturday of each month. I'll be playing there next on 7th September and can't wait to try it out!

Since reading Narcissus & Goldmund, it's always exciting to visit churches wondering what artistic treasures are hiding inside. This is part of a pulpit somewhere in Devon. I like how she clasps the child's hand.

I'm delighted to share this concert I'm giving at Richmond Jewish Community Hub, featuring Bach and Bardanashvili. When I play and listen to Bach I sit under a canopy of Christian tradition, so it is an interesting exploration for me bringing it into the Jewish aspects of my life

What a beautiful and interesting thread, thank you! I have recently visited Sexey's Hospital almshouses in Bruton which are still in use today.

So proud to see the dreams of two friends realised last week. Master Music Publications held their inaugural Summer Festival (and I was lucky to hear a touching recital by Ji Liu), and Lycaeum Music's musical bus is finally on the road! Bravo to both of you crazy dreamers!
