Psappha have announced their 2018-19 season, and it will feature my duet for violin and cello The Vanity of Small Differences. The concert will take place on November 15th at 7.30pm, St Michael’s, Manchester. Tickets and further details about the concert are here.
The piece was written on Psappha’s ‘Composing For’ scheme, and subsequently revised. You can hear the previous incarnation below:
I have been selected for PRS for Music’s exciting new scheme for composers, Accelerate. This will culminate in a performance on Thursday 22nd November 2018 given by the Berkeley Ensemble featuring works by all the composers on the project, with workshops and mentoring from John Woolrich along the way.
The Diotima Quartet will be workshopping my recent string quartet Three Movements and performing it at an informal concert at the University of York on 9th November at 4pm. It will take place in the Music Department, room 058.
Some snippets from a couple of my recent pieces:
Locks of the Approaching Storm for eight players
Performed by members of the Philharmonia Orchestra (cond. Diego Masson) at the Royal Festival Hall, London, 23rd June 2016.
Cast (after Moholy-Nagy) for piano soloist and nine players
Performed by Jin Hyung Lim (piano) and the University of York Chamber Ensemble (cond. John Stringer)in the Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall, York, 4th May 2016.
Uhtceare – a piece I wrote two years ago for York-based ensemble Dark Inventions – has been published by University of York Music Press and recorded on the Firewheel CD by the same ensemble.
The recording and the collection of published scores also feature pieces by the excellent Philip Cashian, Stef Conner, Benjamin Gait, Martin Scheuregger and Christopher Leedham.
More details about the recording (including where to buy it from) can be found here. Alternatively, it is also available on Spotify.
The score and parts are available through UYMP here.
This is a terribly delayed post, but a few months ago I received the Terry Holmes Composer/Performer Award with pianist Jin Hyung Lim. We are currently working on a concerto for piano and ensemble that will be a response to László Moholy-Nagy’s wonderful rotating, metal-clanking, shadow-throwing sculpture Light-Space Modulator.
This will be my second time working with an ensemble under John Stringer‘s baton, now with University of York Chamber Orchestra. The piece will be performed in April 2016 (precise date tbc).

New recording news (part 2): the University of York Symphony Orchestra recently gave a fantastic performance of Ropes of Maui, my new orchestral piece and the end result of the Lyons Celebration Award. Here it is, conducted by John Stringer:
