The Month Ahead

Autumn is a busy time for performances and premieres across the world (and it isn't that often I can say that!). The 22 September sees the American premiere of my song cycle Lakesongs (2011) by Ellen Scholl, Matthew McBride-Daline and Kevin Bylsma in Toledo, Ohio with further performances in October. The 05 October sees a further Dutch performance of the Fourth Service (2018) by the Schola Liturgica Leeuwarden and Geke Bruining. The 06 October is an amazing day with three world premieres: Cappella Nova will give the first performance of Ave regina caelorum (2019) in Aberdeen, the Novantae Singers will give the premiere of Salve Regina (2019) as part of The Cumnock Tryst and Douglasville First United Methodist Church Choir will give the premiere of When in Our Music (2019) in Georgia, USA. The month finishes with the world premiere of a new song cycle Thistles and Roses (2019) by baritone Jeremy Huw Williams in Quebec, Canada on the 25 October.
