20 years of keeping the best acts in the woods at LATITUDE @latitudefestival.bsky.social 2026 - The anniversary edition proved again that #Latitude's real headliners are rarely at the top of the bill, says @katiecolombus.bsky.social www.theartsdesk.com/new-music/th...

★★★★★ #JosephTawadros's CONVERSATIONS WITH JACK is a miraculous final testament from #JackDeJohnette, says @seb-scotney.bsky.social, with Tawadros playing with astonishing clarity, resolve and intent www.theartsdesk.com/new-music/jo...

★★★★ #BBCProms #LouiseAlder @lporchestra.bsky.social #EdwardGardner - A philosophical Alpine hike, and natural scenes with birdsong filling a varied programme - review by @davidnice.bsky.social www.theartsdesk.com/classical-mu...

'The best-looking group that ever existed' ★★★★ TOOMORROW - Daft but hugely endearing cult film, the first 'space musical' - it flopped in 1970, and star #OliviaNewtonJohn was not a fan, but for @grahamrickson.bsky.social this new #BFI Blu-ray release is a winner www.theartsdesk.com/film/blu-ray...

★★ ATLANTIS #ChichesterFestivalTheatre - #EmilyWhite’s new play is important, but too often tells where it could show - it's drowning in passionate exposition, says @garynaylor85.bsky.social www.theartsdesk.com/theatre/atla...

★★★★ #BBCProms #JussenBrothers @thecbso.bsky.social #KazukiYamada - Razor-sharp #Poulenc, soft-focus #Adams, but the bigger the chorus, the harder to catch the words of great poetry, says @davidnice.bsky.social, lauding #CBSO's focus with new musical director www.theartsdesk.com/classical-mu...

South African ambassador #Tyla consolidates her achievements on 'A*POP' - It's a championing, but also perhaps a dilution, of #SouthAfrican innovation, says @joemuggs.bsky.social www.theartsdesk.com/new-music/so...

★★★★★ #BBCProms #JonathanAasgaard #SinfoniaofLondon #JohnWilson - Kaleidoscopic #Respighi both caresses and raises the roof, with introspection in #Walton's Cello Concerto between Italian fireworks - review @davidnice.bsky.social www.theartsdesk.com/classical-mu...

A frenetic attempt to reach nirvana - #HofeshShechter IN THE BRAIN @southbankcentre.bsky.social - This feels like a test of stamina for the audience as well as the dancers, and the slower first half is mesmerising, says Sarah Kent www.theartsdesk.com/dance/hofesh...
