Ben Palmer 🇪🇺

Still processing a truly extraordinary day yesterday, my debut performances at @bbcproms. Hugest thanks to the astonishing @BBCSSO, to @HansZimmer @IainFarrington @AURORAmusic @Nina_Bennet @ChrisGPackham & @MeganMcCubbin, and everyone who came. My heart is pretty full right now.

📣 Feeling very lucky to have such an amazing 2025-26 season ahead, with returns to some favourite orchestras, and lots of exciting debuts. There are a few things I can’t share quite yet, so do keep an eye on my website diary for updates.

Heartbroken to hear Roger Norrington, my great hero, mentor, friend, and supporter has died at the age of 91. I’ll miss him dreadfully. Pictured here, many years ago, enjoying reindeer for lunch after rehearsals in Helsinki.

@Uber_Support Is the Uber app in London down? Trying to reserve a ride to the airport in the morning and it’s glitching.

It’s been a wild joyride conducting @Lornebalfe’s incredible score for Top Gun: Maverick all over the world this season, and it was a thrill to do my 15th & 16th shows at @RoyalAlbertHall with the mighty @royalphilorch Concert Orch, with End Credits turbocharged by @annalapwood.
