Hello there lovely folk in London 😘 I’ll be having a London book launch Foyles Bookshop on September 2nd with a Q&A with 👑 Mary Anne Hobbs 👑 Would LOVE to see you there… foyles.co.uk/events/everyth…

Why festivals matter - my piece for The Yorkshire Post on how classical music can thrive when it isn’t just something to listen to, but something to be part of.

If this ‘critic’ had bothered to do his research, he would have seen that it’s not called ‘The Relaxing Prom’. It’s a ‘Relaxed Prom’, often attended by those with additional needs. The BBC Proms is for everyone. And I make absolutely no apology for that. thecritic.co.uk/democratising-…

Sam Jackson BBC Proms Really? He quotes Newman's PROMS vision as trying to "train the public by easy stages". Sod that. That's patronising, old fashioned and old-fart thinking. Hard hat on for when my symphony comes out, he'll probably find a reason to say it sounds like it was written by a Womble.

Our 328th consective sold out concert!

There’s something wonderfully counter-cultural about nearly 5,000 people being captivated by the music of Arvo Pärt at 11.30pm on a weeknight Royal Albert Hall. Only at the BBC Proms. Thank you so much, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir.

Grateful to the The Telegraph for printing this letter today, and offering the opportunity to highlight the misleading nature of their recent piece about BBC Radio 3. Very proud of my award-winning team, who keep on drawing in listeners old and new.

Sam Jackson The Telegraph BBC Radio 3 I’ve been shocked to see some of the recent criticism directed towards BBC Radio 3, which I can only describe as elitist and stuffy. The presenters are excellent, the format, stimulating. There’s a reason why the station is gaining listeners in droves. Well done 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

This weekend: the late, great Alfred Brendel’s final interview is on BBC Radio 3, as we begin a new series in which piano technician to the stars, Steinway & Sons’ Ulrich Gerhartz, gains some fascinating insights from a host of very famous names: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
