London was in glorious weather this weekend; and I was in (mostly) glorious theatre for much of it. Even the Barbican Centre becomes nearly palatable in the good weather: though the lakeside terrace may be an entirely man-made oasis in the midst of the bleakly (dys)functional urban cityscape it is part of, but at least you get the illusion of nature. And on Friday night, going there to hear the premiere of a new Dominic Muldowney piece being presented as part of a BBC Symphony Orchestra concert, I met the reason for me going to it at all out on the terrace: Philip Quast was mingling informally with his family, before it began.
