#NowSpinning Rattle’s CBSO Mahler 6. Not a recording I really warmed to when first hearing it about 20 years ago! But it’s next up on the Rattle CBSO years box. Let’s see how it sits now.

Edward Elgar's music is so passionate - and he gets that melancholic nostalgia thing perfectly.

Sadly no Toby Spence but Benjamin Hulett was brilliant, as were Jess Dandy and Roderick Williams.

Just to clarify. This is not meant to read that I’ve joined CBSO as a trustee and a grime artist. I have become a trustee but otherwise remain an ageing PR woman with no hope of making it in grime. It’s too late for me, but I’m glad to do my small bit to support the scene.
V pleased to have joined as a trustee of City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. They are doing great stuff.

Took my dad to the Cuppa concert at the CBSO centre today. It’s a concert especially for people with dementia. He absolutely loved it and the journey back on the tram and number 1 bus. The CBSO is yet another thing to be proud of in our city.
