I asked ChatGPT…

I’ve played some of her piano works and taught them too - what a great musician she was

Next week I am performing her beautiful Ballade for viola & piano with Jenny Lewisohn with works by Freda Swain and Rebecca Clarke

Thank you!! I will have a look! :)

I’m sharing this because silence only protects the aggressors. If you ever witness something like this — please don’t look away. Check in with the person being targeted. A small act of kindness can make a huge difference.

I know this man doesn’t represent everyone, but it’s hard to ignore how the climate in this country has changed. There’s a growing hostility toward immigrants and anyone perceived as “foreign,” and experiences like this make it impossible to pretend otherwise.

He was so aggressive that I thought he was about to hit me, and I ran. I’m still shaking.

I can’t believe this happened — in a busy, supposedly safe area, just for speaking another language. It’s frightening, humiliating, and deeply sad to be honest.

This afternoon, walking home in Wimbledon and talking to a friend on the phone in Spanish, a white British man in his 50s/60s suddenly came up close to me and started screaming — telling me to “f*ck off to your own country, now, NOW!!!” so close to my face.

*Abuse is not only physical*

The people who know me know that I very rarely write personal things on here, but today I feel I have to.

Hello from Paris 🥐

It was lovely to perform Chaminade & Dvorak Trios in Maldon last week with Timothy Chua and Sebastian Kolin

Oh wow! We must apply…

🎶 very grateful for this review and for the opportunity to have performed Bernaola’s Nostálgico 🎹 Concerto with the Spanish National Orchestra

Always so lovely to catch up xx

Weird coincidence, catching up this afternoon with
@aoyarzabal.bsky.social - we have booked the same hotel in Paris for a short trip in October (not exactly the same time, which would have been even weirder...)
Keep your eyes peeled for a future joint project 👀
