The Month Ahead

May is a month of premieres, performances, broadcasts and recordings. The Chor Akademicki Politechniki Warszawskiej will give the premiere of my new Magnificat on the 10 May in the university in Warsaw, this followed a week later (16/05) by the premiere of my Fourth Service [St Pancras] as part of the London Festival of Contemporary Church Music, which will also be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3's Choral Evensong. The month continues with the premiere of Ave Maria, mater Dei by The Sixteen and the choristers of Eton College at Eton (22/05, live streamed on Classic FM), with The Sixteen recording the work later in the month for CD release next year. The month ends with the King's College Choir of Aberdeen performing Locus iste (26/05) and The Harry Ensemble giving the Spanish premiere of Veni Sponsa Christi (2015) in the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona on the 27th.
