Had a lovely time waving bonkers Martinu and my own piece Captured last week.
Fantastic group of musicians: Cat Lawlor (violin), Nici Heinrich (‘cello), Sam Carrasco (piano), Neil Doherty (trumpet), Kim Murphy (bassoon) and Alison Hughes (clarinet/bass clarinet). Plus narration from Lucy Mellors. Hope we get to do it again sometime.

I’m happy to be conducting a programme of jazz infused and light-hearted musicwith Mayflower Ensemble as part of a Performing Arts Collaboration South project.
The programme features Casella’s prize-winning composition, Serenata, a new arrangement of of my 2017 piece Captured and Martinů’s 1927 work La Revue de Cuisine.
Looking forward to conducting a great band in pieces by Martinu’s crazy ballet La Revue de Cuisine and a new arrangement of my Captured next week at Turner Sims…
I’m looking to talking about the ‘Capturing the Contemporary Conductor’ project at the Oxford Conducting Institute International Conducting Studies Conference on 23 June.
I’ve just finished a new piece called Captured: Three Mo-Cap Experiments for conductor and small ensemble as part of the BA/Leverhulme funded project, ‘Capturing the Contemporary Conductor’, which I’m working on with Richard Polfreman and other colleagues at the University of Southampton. The idea is to record the piece with seven musicians and three conductors (me, Geoffrey Paterson and Holly Mathieson) in 27th September in the motion-capture laboratory at the University. We will then put all the recordings and data up online for us and other researchers to explore. More to follow!!
