Sir James Galway will be appearing at the Proms in the Park and ahead of this he had an interview on Radio 3's program In Tune. We played an excerpt of the Carmen Fantasy which he will be playing in the park and also some duets with his wife and duo partner Lady Jeanne Galway. This was on their 32nd wedding anniversary! ​ http://bbc.in/2c3LTXA

I played for Trevor Wye's flute course at the of August at his beautiful home in gorgeous Kent countryside. My baby daughter was 12 weeks at this point in this is my first public appearance since having her. As usual we had lots of fun and played this beautiful rendition of Chaminade's Automne, originally a solo piano piece. Here it is arranged by Trevor himself:

We performed a small program as part of a private event in London and received a touching standing ovation from everybody at the event. This was an important performance for me as it was my last performance before becoming a mother. I'm extremely excited about my little one arriving and I hope she already has a sense for good music. I'm taking a small break from performing but not long. My first performance is already scheduled for the end of August. I have some exciting concerts coming up in the UK and in Budapest. Watch this space!

We played a charity concert to raise funds for the church in Witley, Surrey. It was a lovely atmosphere and the little church was filled to the brim with the enthusiastic audience. It was quite a varied concert with solo organ pieces, combinations of piano, flute and bass Bach arias up to Old Man River and some virtuoso late romantic flute pieces as well. I played a solo piece, Mozart's 12 variations on the theme of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. My little one (at 35 weeks pregnant) loved it! Despite the extremely rare hot weather, we had a great time performing at this beautiful little church.

This was a special occasion  as Sir James Galway was receiving an honourary doctorate from the Birmingham Conservatoire. We played a fantastic concert for the completely full Adrian Boult hall audience and it was a really great experience. The hall was seriously hot so Sir James used the handy little hook on the side of the Steinway concert grand to hang up his coat! The piano was really fantastic which is always a real plus when playing such an important concert. At this point I was 34 weeks pregnant and my little one enjoyed the music as well!

Jane and I were honoured to perform at Handel House (or what's now known as Handel Hendrix House) last Thursday. Tickets for this concert was already sold out in December last year so it was a big occasion for us. We performed arias from Purcell, Handel operas and Bach oratorios and I also performed a solo work, Bach French Suite no 2. Jane wowed the audience with her vocal acrobatics which was really impressive considering she had a horrible cold and hardly any speaking voice! I really enjoyed playing on the restored Kirkman harpsichord. A tiny a bit stressful as I found out two days before the concert I'd be playing on this wonderful instrument due to changes in the museum and I had no chance to practice on it other than on the day of the concert! It was a joy to play on and a massive honour as I was the first person to perform on it in concert after it's restoration. It's a very special and rare harpsichord which is over 200 years old. All in all we had great fun and enjoyed performing these baroque masterpieces in such an apt setting. ​
