Went to see #Challengers last night and wrote some stuff about the amazingly inventive soundtrack 👇🏼

Beethoven’s ‘Choral’ Symphony... a work that changed music – and technology – forever. 💿

Join us on Monday 6 May to celebrate on the eve of its 200th anniversary, with two exclusive programmes starring Hollywood actor Richard Armitage and Beethoven expert John Suchet.

We're marking this significant moment in history in a great way on Mon 6th May (the eve of the anniversary). Really great to have the fantastic Richard Armitage tell this incredible story in a special musical dramatisation & John Suchet back on Classic FM too. Going to be brilliant!

One of my favourite moments of Classic FM Live last night was when a mobile phone rang in the middle of Rhapsody in Blue. Instantly our incredible soloist Hayato Sumino (@880hz) copied it, incorporating it seamlessly into his improvisation 🤯

At drinks last night, somebody’s alarm went off and she IMMEDIATELY assumed a kind of stylized brace position and it turns out she is under strict instruction by her holistic acupressure guru to put pressure on her vagus nerve every 2 hours for the purposes of weight loss?! #LA

We’ve had a lot of fun rehearsing Gershwin’s An American in Paris - plus Grieg Concerto with Alexandra Dariescu. First stop on this week’s tour - Portsmouth!

Excited to be partnering with the incredible Lambert Jackson to re-unite Layton and Nikita, to dance together for the final time

Manchester and London presale begins tomorrow 🎟️

So excited! Really looking forward to being back with the wonderful Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra & Tom Fetherstonhaugh
Plus .. tales of a magpie, a frog, a femme fatale & why George Gershwin bought car horns in Paris .. 🤔

Rumour going round that the brilliant Joe Lycett made up the Alan Titchmarsh trousers story. I can assure readers that it is genuine, and I’ve kept the receipts.
