Reviews for I Found My Horn ★★★★★ “Superb script & wonderful performance” Last Minute Theatre Tickets ★★★★ “This solo stage show is a real winner... a triumph – warm, wonderfully funny & touching” @TheStage ★★★★ “Exhilarating” @LondonTheatre1
2 weeks of that special magic that could only happen I conducted a unique Brahms’ Requiem with a klezmer twist and taught 6 truly talented conductors culminating in a brilliant concert with the DFO strings. The spirit of Imo Holst was palpable.

Something very unusual. The whole orchestra follow me onto the stage - perhaps a little shyly and with less athletic elegance than the dancers, but the audience love it, and I for one think this should become the norm. with Ballet Preljocaj. #PitOrchestras

In tonight's episode, @BatonAlice & I had quite a few things in common & I really enjoyed chatting with her. She had many fond memories of the great Ilya Musin, we had a fascinating chat about teaching young women, and I discovered what her multi-instrumental "party trick" was!

This is the most beautiful, powerful, transcendental, unexpected jewel of a book. Didn't think you needed to read a memoir about a father who has a vision to become a Norfolk vicar in the 70s? A book about loss, time, remembering and spiritual awakening? In verse? Well you do!

So proud of this. Book your tickets - tonight, Thursday and Friday.
