Trying to ‘get’ #Sibelius and listening to #Prom with BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus and enjoying Ian Skelly ‘s presentation. It’s helping my education particularly the commission of his 5th Symphony by the Finnish Gov’t for his 50th birthday. So, it wouldn’t happen now; such a small gesture. Mmm?

And you too, Clare. What an amazing send off! The v loud organ, which I have played several times, could not keep up - such was the singing. Managed there and back with one 20 minute charge on our recently acquired electric car. Promising infrastructure finally.
