On Saturday October 28th 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm, the Riot Ensemble concert at St Nicholas Brighton included my Miniataur for bass clarinet, ‘cello and timpani.

A new single movement for flute, viola and piano. It is, as its name suggests, somewhat romantic and slightly antique.
It is also brief – 3’30”

New music for trumpet and piano, including my ‘Mouthpiece’, will get first performances on September 21st at the Friends Meeting House, Brighton. The players are Fraser Tannock (winner of the Philip Jones Brass Prize, and the Royal Overseas League Competition) and composer and pianist Terence Allbright.

July 8th sees the premiere of my ‘Another Orpheus’ for string orchestra, by the Musicians of All Saints. The title is from a drama by Shelley which he wrote to support the Greek war of independence (in which Byron famously died). ‘Another Orpheus sings again and loves and weeps and dies’.
