Mightily impressed by Nick Martin’s Barbara Hepworth-inspired Violin Concerto played by Tamsin Waley-Cohen with the Manchester Camerata in its London premiere @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social this evening. I thought it had something of the intensity & spirit of Tavener’s Protecting Veil, in a good way.

Rounding out the evening with a seriously nostalgic, insightful panel from #Wolf359, and an exceptional performance from @woodenovercoats.bsky.social at @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social… What an #AudiodramaSunday!

Happy 10 years to both the shows, with many, many relistens still to come! 🎉
