The Month Ahead

October begins a busy Autumn of performances and recordings with the opportunity for me to attend a few things. The weekend of the 7/8 sees Caritas Chamber Choir give two launch concerts for their new recording All Shall Be Amen in London and Kent, featuring my 2022 motet Ubi Caritas. At the same time I will be in Ayrshire for the Cumnock Tryst Festival where the festival chorus and Eamonn Dougan will perform my much-delayed Gloria for baritone, choir, two pianos and two percussion. Whilst at the festival, I’ll be interviewing James MacMillan and poet Michael Symmons Roberts about their creative processes and collaboration. Looking further ahead sees performances of The Eternal Ecstasy in Canada, Salve Regina in America and premieres of Missa Sancti Albanus and the brand new Recessional for organ.
