Wonderful evening at #BBCProms, first with #franticassembly exploring Shostakovich’s 5th symphony and the spaces between politics and art, and then with the astonishing @auroraorchestra.bsky.social playing it from memory!

Genuinely brilliant listen and - especially the last lines (which almost made me sob) - exactly what I needed today. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Today, alongside @equityuk.bsky.social + @societyofauthors.bsky.social, we have launched a petition calling on Director-General of the BBC Tim Davie to rethink plans to eradicate audio drama from BBC Radio 3

Sign the petition to Save Audio Drama at the BBC

I think this is the earliest I have ever seen primroses in flower.
