So delighted to see this in real life! My friend and colleague  Louis-Pierre Bergeron spotted this #HiddenHorn at the Seoul Arts Centre Concert Hall when he was here last year, I just got to see it in real life before the first Springhead Constellation concert this evening.

Awwww, this is rather lovely. A gift from my friend and colleague, harpist Marion Sicouly. What fun!

I met up recently with my fabulous colleague Rachel Nierenberg and was delighted when I clocked the design of her shirt. Apparently spotted by some of her friends (what excellent friends!) in a thrift shop and bought for her. #HiddenHorns

And in the Orchestral category is Václav Luks and @Collegium1704 "Wind & Fire" (Handel's Water Music Suites and Music for the Royal Fireworks. https://www.classical-music.com/awards/2026-awards/bbc-music-magazine-2026-orchestral-award

These categories are up for public vote here until 3rd of March!

In the Choral category is Raphael Pichon and @ensemblepygmalion.bsky.social 's J.S.Bach Mass in B minor. https://www.classical-music.com/awards/2026-awards/bbc-music-magazine-2026-choral-award

Two recent recordings I had the pleasure of participating in are up for awards (thankfully, in two separate categories!) at the BBC Music Magazine Awards 2026.

A sad one today, something that's taken a while to process. 

I certainly would not be the musician I am today had it not been for John Wallace's inspirational work. A real powerhouse of musicianship, scholarship and advocacy for the importance of music (especially brass music!) and music education.
