Some concerts I'm excited about in the next month
– second performances of pieces for @joseph_havlat , @mrandrewwattssings & @gavrobpianist at @folkestonenewmusic (inc. a setting of @clareshaw1 's 'How I Heard') and my short work for the Clarion Trio, written through mentorship by @abrsmmusic and @theclarionuk , an amazing accessible instrument.
And in June, premieres of two pieces I have written over the past half a year –
'Four Dances' is for a mega-orchestra of @londonsymphonyorchestra , @guildhallschool and LSO Discovery young musicians, inspired by several places in London around the Thames.
'Environmental Songs' is for @london.sinfonietta and soloist Carina Vinke, accompanying Henze's 'Voices' and the results of a wonderful project with @aldeburghyoungmusicians .
The Red Studio & Snape - where I have spent the past week composing as well as working with the wonderful @aldeburghyoungmusicians , @london.sinfonietta & @brittenpearsarts -
This will culminate in new songs for the London Sinfonietta in Aldeburgh Festival on June 17
