We had a very special weekend. Two concerts with a 15-year-old assistant concertmaster ❤️ and his violin, surrounded by an orchestra of talented young musicians, all playing together at a level that was pure joy to watch – and hear! ☺️

Europe, next 7 days: up to 18 °C above normal.
“It’s been hot before.” Sure. And the last ten years are the ten hottest ever recorded. This is the second heatwave in a month – made 3–5 times more likely by climate change. We decide how much worse it gets. #ClimateAction #Vote accordingly
