I was lucky enough to be at Welsh National Opera’s Death in Venice tonight, it was fabulous, but mostly I was moved by the sensitivity and virtuosity of the orchestra, under threat of a 15% pay cut-7 weeks less work a year. Please do sign this to support them.

Me for The Critic. 'We must find the courage to suppress our embarrassment, our nervousness about being labelled “snobs”, and explain why classical music has value, is worth bothering with, and is something anyone can enjoy'. thecritic.co.uk/the-love-that-…

Me and Mr Vasks. So happy to welcome him, Tonia Ko and Marcelo Nisinman to our School in Trossingen for our Windhoek Wind Festival. Tonight was also Euro prem of Magnus Lindberg’s EPIC piano and wind quintet.

Sad to be saying goodbye to my new friends at Ensemble Midtvest. We can only dream in the U.K. of such a space and support to make music and create and perform as one wishes. You are all a joy, and Den Japanske Have denjapanskehave.dk is a delight. Thank you all.

Oboist Nicholas Daniel OBE 🇺🇦🏳️‍⚧️ is in Denmark this week with Ensemble MidtVest and you can listen to their concert, broadcast live from HolstebroKunstmuseum by Danish Radio. Music includes Mozart, Eleanor Alberga and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

If you can possibly make Katya Apekisheva’s concert Wigmore Hall today do it, I’m sad not to be there because I know it will be awesome and moving.

A moment of Bach from our ‘built in encore’ from last week at the exquisite hall and hugely attentive audience YorkConcerts Thank you so much.

Happy St David’s Day/Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! I’d have to subscribe to X to post the whole thing, but here’s Nicholas Daniel playing the beginning my arrangement of Ar Hyd y Nos exquisitely Wigmore Hall last autumn. Mwynhewch!

Many people know I use iPads for almost all performances now, and people regularly ask me about Bluetooth page turners. I did a little survey of some of them over on my insta stories. Pop on over if you’re interested. Spoiler, one of them is a ring!

Really excited to play in York tomorrow. Do come along if you’re free, gorgeous programme with Thea Musgrave, Mozart, Schubert, Bach and Danish wedding music!!

I simply could not be prouder of my beautiful daughter Allie Daniel opening Hadestown UK tonight. Smash it babe. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

So thrilled for everyone involved: a wonderful review that really understands Outi’s voice and this astonishing piece she wrote for me. Scroll down for English.

I totally agree with this. We need those with the strength to stand up and be counted and those of us loving and supporting them to help them get and keep the strength.

I hope that this reaches the ears of Rishi Sunak, Lucy Frazer, Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Department for Education and HM Treasury. The Tories have failed the arts for over a decade, undoubtedly scared of their impact…

If I ever need to remember how love might sound in music I listen to the 3rd part of this, I cried all the way through it at the Opera House. Tremendous recording, congratulations Thomas Adès and the team.
