What a treat this St Cecilia’s Day to have the chance to play ’Scotland’s oldest surviving cello', in concert for the first time in hundreds of years! Not used to getting notifications popping up on my phone in the night about myself… Read more about it on the below articles, or take a listen on BBC4 The World Tonight & Drivetime. See below for a sample of the cello in action. Thanks to University of Aberdeen Special Collections and Music Department for having me, and Aaron McGregor, Laszlo Rozsa, and Alex McCartney for the usual Scots baroque antiques. Also shout out to David Rattray for the amazing restoration!

Currently spending a lovey week in Belfast with @scottishballet for the last part of their nutcracker tour. I’ve got time off today - any suggestions on fun activities?
Just reposting this from @classical.scot - recording from our Barsanti Ensemble concert last week at @stceciliashall hope everyone is having a lovely Xmas Eve.x
