The Month Ahead

This Sunday (22/04) marks the beginning of one of the busiest months in my career so far with performances and premieres across the country and on to the continent. The female choir Aurora Nova will give the premiere of my Jubilate on Sunday alongside a repeat performance of my Te Deum (2010) at St Paul's Cathedral in the Matins service. This is then followed by the world premiere of my motet O salutaris hostia (2008) in Częstochowa, Poland by Camerata Silesia conducted by Anna Szostak on 03 May. On the 05 May Clare McCaldin and Paul Turner will perform my new Two De La Mare Songs and 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' (from Lakesongs) in a recital in Deddington, Oxfordshire. On the 13 May my new set of Preces and Responses will be given their premiere at the London Festival of Contemporary Church Music at St Pancras Church, with a second performance and broadcast on BBC Radio 3 Choral Evensong on the 16 May. The Oxford Spezzati will perform Invocation in Kensington, London on the 19 May at the launch for the Novello 'New Choral Series'. The month is rounded off with the premiere of my Second Service [Eton College] on the 20 May, performed by the Chapel Choir of Eton College, conducted by Tim Johnson. Other performances of other works are also taking place in Oxford and Bristol.
