I will be directing the Hartley Loop Orchestra in a University of Southampton Department of Music concert including Saint-Saens 'Carnival of the Animals', a new work by emerging composer Zoe Sones and Richard Ayres' amazing 45-minute melodrama 'In the Alps'. Juliet Fraser will take on the soprano part in the Ayres with Verity Brooks and David Owen Norris soloists in the Saint-Saens. All VERY exciting.

I will be conducting the PLAYLIST Collective in performances of Villa Lobos' 'Choros No. 7, "Settiminio' and a brand new commission by Hollie Harding.

Liz Kenny will perform 'Extending from the inside' (2014) as part of a solo gig in Istanbul.

I'm really looking forward to spending two days with Riot Ensemble and poet Luke Wright working on ideas for a new commission.

Final performance of work created on the Cohan Collective Residency for choreographers and composers.

Elizabeth Kenny will play my 'Extending from the inside' as part of her recital Wigmore Hall. Here's the blurb:

Late sixteenth-century musicians and poets spent much time attempting to re-make contemporary culture in the image of the Ancients: the intellectual-sounding chitarrone was one of the more unlikely fruits of this movement. But with its long second neck and eccentric tuning it soon acquired a reputation for comedy, and was nicknamed tiorba, (an old man’s hurdy gurdy), and in England, ”theorbo”. Player-composers explored experimental harmonies and, flowing tunes underpinned by its deep bass strings. Today’s composers are taking the instrument into new imaginative terrain, exploring its twin identities.

Superstar theorbo player Elizabeth Kenny will perform my 'Extending from the inside' (2014) as part of her performance at Oxford Festival of the Arts 2019.
