Such a joy to conduct the premiere of my orchestral piece āSisyphusā commissioned and performed by the wonderful @oxfordphilharmonicorchestra - and what a generous audience. Stage 2 of my Herzog project complete ā Stay tuned⦠ā°ļø
Make the most of the fact the BBC has kindly suspended itās programmes till after my premiere so you can come and see it.
Tickets are currently available so get em while they last! ā¤ļø

What an amazing first outing for Mount Herzog with @teteateteopera at the @cockpittheatre š¢
Weāve had amazing responses from audience members, with a particular emphasis on seeing the work fully orchestrated and expanded to feature a steamship on stage⦠join us for the ride and follow @mount_herzog_opera to receive updates! ā°ļø
This couldnāt have been possible without help from The Munster Trust, Mazzini-Garibaldi Foundation, and of course my amazing team @b.watkins__@jessrose79@mattpope14@theonisbett@jeremy.pianist@matthewclemmet@calumbradshaw and the unbelievable Scott Handy
See you at the next one⦠š„

Itās that time of year again when choices must be made between attending either a world premiere performed by the outrageously talented @lumas.winds (of my new wind quintet), or the UK release of yet another Godzilla film, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
If like me, you love hand-crafted, thought-provoking Byzantine art and question the value of monsters beating the digi-crap out of each other, then Iām sure weāll see each other soon (link on my āprofileā)
Inspired by the beautiful Byzantine Icon depicting St John Climacusā āLadder of Divine Ascentā.
