Introducing the orchestra for London Xmas Carol @londonxmascarol at the Dominion Theatre this Christmas. 🤩

We are thrilled to be working with such a talented bunch of musicians, including 27 players selected as part of LMTO’s development scheme.

In two weeks we will meet for our first rehearsal together: we cannot wait to make music with them all and bring @alanmenken 's gorgeous score to life.💛

VLOG ALERT! I can't wait to share with you my very first vlog about my recent audition during covid... Suspense, suspense 🤫 I am also quite nervous, talking to a camera alone on a street is definitely weird (believe me, try it once).

You can watch it from Friday evening on YouTube on my channel (link in bio through my website) and I will try to upload it on Instagram too.

Now off to finish the last edits and hopefully the rendering won't be too long 🤞

See you soon!

Henriette Renié - Ballade Fantastique 🎶 1 year

Henriette Renié - Ballade Fantastique 🎶 1 year ago on this day from my solo recital at St James Piccadilly Church right off the iconic Piccadilly Circus with the photogenic @cocacola adverts and London's red buses.

🎧 30 seconds into the video is my favourite passage of the whole piece with the left hand playing staccato repeated notes which in the story represent the heartbeats of the victim who's been murdered by the narrator; the right hand is a variation of the theme with fast notes to express a feeling of urgency and finale.

Did you hear it?

I absolutely love this section and its brilliant writing ❤️ and it was written by a woman for once, yesss

Just married (sort of)... My grandparents celebrated 60 years together ❤️ that's 21'900 days! They have a smashing sense of humour and from patience and perseverance, to eating lentils at night without anyone noticing, or hiding messages in empty jam pots in the nature, they taught me so much. My grandad is an expert in coffee and food chemistry, now making the most delicious quince jams ever (I need some more!) My grandma is the most loving human and creative knitter I know, can't wait to discover my new jumper. To many more years 🌞

And they are both on instagram! Who else has grandparents on the gram? 👀

Debussy clair de lune 🌕 Debussy was born on thi

Debussy clair de lune 🌕 Debussy was born on this day in 1862; could he know in his early twenties that he had composed what would become one of the most memorable classical piece ever?

Although originally written for the piano it works so well on the harp and one can really hear the gentle breeze of a moonlit Summer night.
Oh and can I say just how much I love my disco ball earrings?

QUIZZ 🔊 How many times can you hear the theme (subject) of the fugue in this excerpt❓

This is the exposition of the fugue from 𝓑𝓪𝓬𝓱'𝓼 𝓣𝓸𝓬𝓬𝓪𝓽𝓪 & 𝓕𝓾𝓰𝓾𝓮 𝓲𝓷 𝓓 𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓸𝓻 in which the subject or theme comes back in different voices, weaving this gigantic musical tapestry with a mastery of counterpoint and harmony ➡️ in short terms it's a masterpiece!

Contrary to popular belief and the simple fact that they are many notes, I think Bach's music can be 'easier' to memorise than others due to its sheer logic (or maybe it's just me?)🤷‍♀️

🎥🎶 Check out the full video on my YouTube channel, link in bio.

🤓 So back to my main question, how many times can you hear the theme?
