British Airways and Heathrow. The usual toxic combination. Pointless and irritating delays for no good reason beyond general sloppiness in every direction.

Lovely to be back in Galway today for the first time since 2013, when I conducted a glorious little production of Così for OTC. Today has started with a run, a swim, and excellent coffee. Now looking forward to sightseeing and a concert tonight at St Nicholas' Church! stnicholas.ie/event/music-...

I cannot adequately articulate how offensive this is to anyone with first-hand experience of ASD.

Rather wonderful to be preparing some music by Britten (getting ahead for Autumn concerts) while staying in Britten's old boarding house at Gresham's School. I wonder which room was his?

Very happy to be heading to Gresham's today for the second instalment of the Music Summer School and Festival! I'll be conducting Israel in Egypt — and in my preparation I may have got a bit too interested in exactly which bits are borrowed from whom...
