Enjoy this clip from the first movement of Korngold’s Much Ado About Nothing Suite, titled ‘Maiden in the Bridal Chamber’, performed by Emily Sun and Joseph Havlat in the beautiful surroundings of the UKARIA Cultural Centre in Adelaide.
Originally written for chamber orchestra, its instant success resulted in a series of arrangements including this one for violin and piano that features the composer’s typically lush Romantic harmonies and was often performed by the composer himself.
Watch this space for more clips of this beautiful recording in the future!

What a thrilling show at the Barbican last night! 🤩
Congratulations to Simon and all involved in the World Premiere of ‘Darkness Visible’, a brilliantly immersive production through both stage and screen that gripped the audience from minute one and took us on a journey through parts of London via a programme of contrasting but powerful music. We can’t wait to see what’s next for this production!
For Simon, he’s quickly onto the next thing as he takes to the podium this evening at the Royal Academy of Music for some Mozart and Beethoven with the Academy String Orchestra…
Tonight 🌆
Simon Crawford-Phillips is pianist and conductor for this thrilling production created by @ame.productions , ‘Darkness Visible’ with long-time collaborator @lawrence.power.viola
“a concert that breaks down the walls of the concert hall and takes you on a musical journey across the City of London at night.”
We’ve seen some great clips coming out of rehearsal already, and with a real range of music in the programme we can’t wait to be there!

Birthday wishes are in order 🥳🎂
A great big Happy Birthday to our founder, Libby, who is celebrating today in Munich as she goes to support the lovely @rachelpodgerofficial this weekend.
We’re so grateful for all of her incredible hard work and inspiration, do be sure to send her some birthday wishes today 😇🎉
Can you tell from the look on my face…
The feeling of unboxing newly published music will never get old! Order a copy of the my Requiem’s sheet music and the album “i carry your heart,” and you’ll be invited to my birthday.
Make sure to listen to the album if you still haven’t! And if you already have, it wouldn’t hurt to listen again, would it?
Piano Mania! 🎹
