New Commissions

As I put the finishing touches to my largest work to date, Noah's Fire, my mind begins to wander to new works that I will compose this year. I'm very excited to be involved in the choir Siglo de Oro's Seven Last Words from the Cross project in which seven composers each take one of the famous lines - the premiere of which will be given in the Victoria International Arts Festival in July of this year in Malta. Other composers featured in the project include John Harle, Alexander Campkin and Thomas Hewitt Jones. I've also been commissioned to write a substantial new work for community choir for the SOUND festival in Aberdeen for this year's festival - something themed around Northern Skies is planned. The final work I'm writing is an orchestral song-cycle for soprano and our own (Aberdeen University) chamber orchestra which will be premiered in Antwerp next year. Looking forward to getting started! PAC
