Not the best hastily-snatched curtain-call snap but #Quercus -ers Warren, Tabor & Ballamy were easily on the side of sublime tonight @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social. June's fire, Huw's commanding comping & Iain's softly-blown tenderness are a thing to behold. (Behear?) #ArtOfTheTrio

Mightily impressed by Nick Martin’s Barbara Hepworth-inspired Violin Concerto played by Tamsin Waley-Cohen with the Manchester Camerata in its London premiere @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social this evening. I thought it had something of the intensity & spirit of Tavener’s Protecting Veil, in a good way.
