Rowan promptly coloured in the programme the next morning! …Enjoyed a fantastic concert by Jessica Summers and Jelena Makarova Living Songs - performing 21st century songs for soprano & piano on Saturday night, celebrating Earth Day! 🌎
I was treated to the premiere of my Japanese Death Poems (Book Two) - written for Jessica and Jelena and performed with such understanding, subtlety and expressivity; preceded by a most beautiful performance of my Stone Study No.3 by Jelena.
Such an eclectic and colourful programme, and all so sensitively and dramatically performed by this captivating and unique duo!
Can't wait to work together again!

Looking forward to the premiere of my Sylva Suite tonight in Hay-on-Wye. Written for harpist Alexandra Guiraud, the suite features musical portraits of 5 trees: Yew, Birch, Cherry, 'Spectred Oaks' and Mountain Ash. Here are two excerpts from 'Spectred Oaks' and Mountain Ash 🌲 🎶 - hope they leaf you pining for more! 😂🤦♂️
