For all sorts of reasons, I salute Rachel Cooke for this fantastic book review. observer.co.uk/culture/books/โฆ

Today! Iโm singing Bernsteinโs zinger Chichester Psalms in a really terrific programme including orchestral fanfares by Joan Tower and Aaron Copland, Brittenโs Frank Bridge Variations and his extraordinary AMDG 6.30-8.15pm Quote OUTCRY59โfor 50% discount. sinfoniasmithsq.org.uk/event/a-commonโฆ

I met Mark Brokaw in 1992 when he directed Kenneth Lonerganโs Lobby Hero. We were chums forever after, eating, talking theatre and art, and laughing - his wit was bone dry - whenever we were in each otherโs cities. And now heโs gone. Far, far too soon. RIP theguardian.com/theobserver/20โฆ
