Olympic Torch

Yesterday the Olympic Torch came to Hove. The evening was rainy, cold and windy so , discretion being the better part of valour, I viewed it on TV from the comfort of my armchair, unlike the last time the Torch came to Britain (see my blog for 8th November 2011).

Having just written about Gustavo Dudamel I was interested to note that there was an interview with him on Radio 3 yesterday. His philosophy seems to be that the world would be a better place if we all learned to make music together. Certainly it is a better place for all those youngsters sponsored by El Sistema.
