In London today for @musicintheround.bsky.social attending the Business of the Arts summit by @artsprofessional.co.uk - listening to Baroness Hodge talk about her review. Interesting session...

Wonderful day representing @musicintheround.bsky.social at the Glasshouse. Really good sessions with a wide range of voices - young, wise, local, international, Classical, commercial - thank you for an inspring day, @harrisonparrott.bsky.social Foundation! (also, we all like cake, apparently...)

Yesterday for @musicintheround.bsky.social I attended the launch of the @sheffieldcathedral.bsky.social five-year strategy as a member of its new Music Board, and a Key Professional Lunch with @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social Cllr Mahroof, all looking towards a brighter future in #Sheffield!

Her Royal Highness met with our Chief Executive @jotowlerwareham.bsky.social for a tour of our home venue, the Tanya Moiseiwitsch Playhouse in the Crucible @sheffieldtheatres.bsky.social, before a short performance of violin and piano duos from our resident musicians Ensemble 360 at Upper Chapel.

Running @musicintheround.bsky.social is fab, but outside of work I also get to do fab things, like play to thousands of people at Tramlines Festival...!

Interesting afternoon with colleagues from @sheffielduni.bsky.social with a 'Creative Industries Engaging with Parliament and Policy Makers' training session. Let's make our voices and @musicintheround.bsky.social's heard in London!

Day in London in this place for @musicintheround for a roundtable with the Minister of State for DCMS, Chris Bryant, colleagues from @aborchestras.bsky.social and other key classical organisations, making the case for the sector, its success and impact, and our needs. Good discussion!

At the launch of Sheffield Creative Academy with @sheffcolangela.bsky.social - linking young creative talented people at Sheffield College with the cultural sector. Here's to a bright future! #sheffcolcreates

Want to come and join me and other fab people @musicintheround.bsky.social? We're recruiting for a Development Manager and a National Projects Manager: musicintheround.co.uk/music-in-the... musicintheround.co.uk/music-in-the... Sheffield is the place to be! #sheffieldissuper #thisischambermusic

Fab 5-star review of one of our early morning events in @musicintheround.bsky.social Sheffield Chamber Music Festival. bachtrack.com/review-ensem... We're having a lot of fun here in Sheffield in the sunshine, and so are our sell-out audiences!

Wonderfully mesmerising evening of astonishing music-making from @dameevelynglennie.bsky.social, Jill Jarman and friends to bring Day 2 of the @MusicintheRound Sheffield Chamber Music Festival to a brilliant close!

Wonderful start to @musicintheround 2025 Sheffield Chamber Music Festival last night, celebrating 20 years of Ensemble 360! Today family concert, Janacek musings and music and then the amazing @dameevelynglennie.bsky.social and friends! Musicintheround.co.uk

Celebrating music in Sheffield with lots of creatives - @musicintheround.bsky.social just one of many people and groups here. So great to have @tomhunt100.bsky.social and Team Culture Sheffield here this morning supporting the sector.

At last, someone who understands how tariffs are going to make America great again! xkcd.com/3073/

We need just £95 of donations in the next hour to hit our £20k fundraising target for our new storybook project for 3-7-year-olds! donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

Really chuffed to see @classicalsheffield.bsky.social Festival Weekend featured in @ourfaveplaces.bsky.social! ourfaveplaces.co.uk/whats-on/cla.... It's going to be an amazing few days of music across the city! @hallamsinfonia.bsky.social, @musicintheround.bsky.social and many others.

Very excited to have played with Crookes Brass Band today at my first ever Yorkshire Areas!

Listening to @tomhunt100.bsky.social at the South Yorkshire Culture Creatives event at The Showroom. We need to keep dreaming BIG - and we are @musicintheround.bsky.social with our Harmony Works partners!

Lovely piece about former @musicintheround.bsky.social team member @tommckinney.bsky.social as he takes on a new role on @bbcradio3bot.bsky.social: www.classical-music.uk/features/art.... We had some fun times with Tom!

Wonderful review of the recent @musicintheround.bsky.social concert with Ensemble 360 at @sheffieldtheatres.bsky.social featuring English composers. bachtrack.com/review-ensem... Loads more concerts still to come this spring! #lovesheffield

And today for @musicintheround I'm at @sheffielduni.bsky.social for Muses, Mind, Machine conference, led by Prof Renee Timmers. Another busy day!

Here in sunny Gateshead for the #abo2025 conference for @musicintheround. Busy day ahead!

Disappointing BBC Bargain Hunt today. Apparently Meccano is the ultimate 'boy's toy' and 'best left to the boys'. Seriously. It's 2024 and I LOVED playing with my Meccano. Such stereotypes need to be consigned to history.

This morning, I represented @musicintheround.bsky.social at an event about Sheffield's new Cultural Strategy. Delighted to see @tomhunt100.bsky.social, Leader of @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social, talking so passionately about culture in the city. democracy.sheffield.gov.uk/documents/s7...

It's that Big Give time of year! We're supporting string playing in our schools at a time when music is being hit by funding cuts, otherwise where will the next generation of music-makers and audiences come from? Any gift welcome... Thank you. donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...

Really looking forward to seeing and hearing this event @musicintheround.bsky.social on 30 November! nowthenmagazine.com/articles/lea...

Woke up to this in not-so-sunny-Sheffers. Dusting off the winter coat and cracking on!
