@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hi James. A new Alan Bennett film comes out today - The Choral - about power of bringing people together, through singing, in 1916. On Monday, I spoke with Alexander Armstrong and Nick Hytner about how relevant that still is : royalphilharmonicsociety.org.uk/rps_today/ne...

We were so pleased to welcome so many RPS Members, music-makers and music-lovers to an exclusive screening of The Choral last night! We’re so grateful to our friends at Sony Pictures UK for their support and generosity in making the event happen. (1/4)

There's still a few tickets for our exclusive screening of Alan Bennett's 'The Choral', with Q&A with Alexander Armstrong, Nicholas Hytner, Natalie Murray Beale and @hilaryjcampbell.bsky.social. Join us Monday 3 November at The Ham Yard Hotel, London:

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Re mystery hr q does music affect dogs - I’m a conductor, and I have cavapoochon Fizzy (insta @choirdog ) who attends almost every rehearsal I take, and most concerts too. Her mood is really only improved when the session finishes ! She once loathed Bach Magnificat, but in her

Something amazing happened to me yesterday. I went to a free concert at a local church - The Gustav Holst Ensemble - & half way through the second piece - Brahms Piano Quartet no. 3 - I noticed that tears were streaming down my face. A moment of absolute beauty. Never known anything like it.
