More Visions
On Thursday 27 August my ‘Blake Visions’ will be performed by the Brighton Chamber Ensemble at St Anne’s, Lewes at 1.00pm. This will be its 3rd performance: the first was in London in 2025 by the London Piano Quartet. They then repeated it at the Nicholas Yonge Society in Lewes as well as recording it for the Claudio Records CD which is due for release in November.
