Carnegie Hall premiere
Posted on Friday, March 30, 2007
I'll shortly be off to NY again for the premiere of my new piece Piosenki, commissioned by the Carnegie Hall Corporation. I'm able to get a few comps so if anyone in the area would be interested in coming along please get in touch The concert is on the 15th April at 3.30pm in the Weill Recital Hall.
Manning Camerata
Posted on Thursday, March 1, 2007
Yesterday I attended a drinks party to welcome the Manning Camerata here to St Albans. Peter Manning is a musician of the absolute highest calibre and it's very exciting that he has teamed up with my friends at St Albans Arts to create this new relationship with the city, which till now has not had a resident professional orchestra.
There are two concerts booked for this year, including an all Elgar concert in June and in April a concert that includes the BBC Young Musician of the year, clarinetist Mark Simpson. I really enjoyed Mark's playing in the competition so I'm looking forward to hearing him.
