If you feel like, a month from now, you will be in a roof-raising mood, book your tickets for Mahler's superlative Symphony No. 8! Saturday 13th June at Lighthouse, Poole 👇 www.lighthousepoole.co.uk/event/mahler...

Happy birthday to spring, Johann Sebastian Bach… and my grandfather Paul, shown here in perhaps his last tour de force - performing his own « giro di tonalità » in July 1990, at home with family and friends, only four months before passing away… www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmPV...

Everyone wants to be a hero! One more rehearsal to go before the French premiere of Richard Dubugnon’s brilliant Concerto Héroïque for saxophone and orchestra, followed by Beethoven’s own Eroica Symphony, with Michel Supéra and the Orchestre de Douai Région Hauts-De-France..

High anticipation ahead of tomorrow, the Paris premiere (about time!) of my dad’s orchestration of Ravel’s magnificent Trio. I grew up with this orchestration, and I daresay it’s the symphony Ravel never wrote! Live or later, the concert can be heard here: www.radiofrance.fr/francemusiqu...

@mrrickygervais.bsky.social do you want the options again? #Keith

Nothing like a fractured left elbow and a tendinitis-ridden right wrist to conduct Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 - luckily the Academy of St Mary Le Bow is fully fit, so do come and hear this tremendous orchestra in full swing! maxime-tortelier.com/events/mahle...
