Review of 2015

2015 was another busy year for me, with more performances, publications, commissions and broadcasts. The highlight of the year would have to be the premiere of Noah's Fire in Chester Cathedral in November - the work had been three years in the planning and the composition and the performance, with 300 performers on stage and 600 in the audience, was quite overwhelming. Other highlights included Invocation and There is no rose both being broadcast on national radio (as well as an interview with me), There is no rose being published and The Eternal Ecstasy being released on CD (and making the top 10 of the classical charts). The year finished with a bang with multiple performances across the country in the festive period. 2016 will be mainly focused on The Music of James MacMillan during which I hope to have written the lion's share, but there will also be some new works and three CDs being released featuring my works. All the best for 2016! PAC
