Also, have a look at the video of Song Fragments from Belgrade. Just about to start revising my Worker's Union piece for October.

April 2013 - The LCO workshop was a success! Fantastic players and ensemble, a few revision to do on the piece before the concert at Cadogan Hall in May.

March 2013 - LCO piece is finished!! The work ended up having an additional instrument (a viola) and has the title Till Human Voices Wake Us (from T.S. Eliot). A tricky piece to compose but rewarding - looking forward to the workshop in April (see event listings) before the final concert at Cadogan Hall in May...
