Just had breakfast listening to a duet between Hildegard of Bingen (Medieval plain chant, on Radio 3) and a blackbird (in our garden, through the open door). Bliss. I recommending starting every day like that if you have cooperative local wildlife.

@bsag @vanessa I take it you have both seen that famous duet between a cellist and a nightingale?

@jeremycherfas I have, it’s wonderful. I was also booked to go on a Singing with Nightingales night featuring Sam Lee this weekend but of course it is cancelled.

@jeremycherfas Actually, there is the first of a series of broadcasts they are doing instead, starting tonight. This one is open to everyone, and they have some just for former ticket holders starting next week.

@bsag I can hear that duet in my head. My wife and I perform professionally with a vocal ensemble and our concerts almost always include a Hildegard selection or two.
