So excited to see this wonderful concert planned for Jan 28-31 2027 by @Tafelmusik & Principal Guest Director & Principal Soloist @RachPodger. But I pray the natural trumpet parts are played by trumpets, not french horns 🙏😊 Perhaps David Blackadder & friend?

It's Remembrance Day.
Take time, this day above all, to honour and thank those who risked and lost their lives so that you could peacefully live yours.
"Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them."

Wonderful news
This is what a proper leader can achieve
🇨🇦 Canada has deployed its entire NATO multinational brigade (approx. 3,000 troops and 1,000 vehicles) to eastern Latvia for its largest-ever military exercise in the country. The message is clear: NATO is preparing not just to deter Russia, but to defend its eastern flank. Ottawa has extended its military presence in Latvia until 2031.

It has taken me a few days to find the words.
Herbert Blomstedt — an honourable man, a great soul, a musician of profound depth who never ceased to surprise me. A unique and extraordinary conductor.
I will always cherish the many concerts we shared and the moments of music and humanity we experienced together.
It is so difficult to say goodbye. 🙏🏻🕊️

How will the world change after the thumping Donald Trump and the Republicans took last week? Or will it change at all?

Former @NACOrchCNA violinist Winston Webber writes a book that I will find most interesting having followed the orchestra from its inception with Mario Bernardi as music director & my trumpet teacher Robert Oades as 2nd trumpet & personnel manager. 😊

Also, if @NACOrchCNA could bring this to Me Webber’s attention..As a bonus in my reading enjoyment I also attended a @TorontoSymphony concert conducted by Karel Ančerl with Steven Staryk soloing in Bach’s E Major Concerto.

Back in 1974, the disco in the basement of Warsaw's Hotel Bristol, with giant plastic breasts that pulsated with the music, was the place for young expatriates to hang out; you could pick out the UB (secret police) cos they could only drink Coke. I daren't ask if it's still so🫤

pencanada.ca So, I’m introducing this event, which will mean a few choices for me. You know that Ruth Zardo, the cantankerous, dishevelled, drunken, shockingly outspoken, puzzle-solving, annoyingly often right, award-winning, blackly-dressed, duck-owning old poet of idyllic Three Pines, where an astonishing number of people get murdered among the bliss and croissants, frequently writes poems that are, um, mine? Should I come in character? Should I bring my duck? Didn’t know I had one, did you, Louise? She’s talkative!
See you there! Bring your freedom of expression!
