The Week Ahead

This week should prove to be an exciting week, beginning with the première of Lakesongs in Ambleside on Tuesday as part of the Lake District Summer Music Fesitval 2011 (with my no doubt enlightening talk beforehand). The Warehouse ensemble will première Nocturne as part of the Tête-a-Tête Opera Festival on Thursday (followed by a second performance on Friday) in the 'Six Word Opera' performances. On Friday I'm going to the first rehearsal of Dreams of Longing followed by taking in a performance of London Road (sadly not written by me) at the National Theatre. I also finished my 'dramatic cantata' The Two Trees for performance in October and heard that the choir of Selwyn College Cambridge will première my Evening Service in Cambridge in October. Hopefully Everton will win on Saturday to round it off nicely.
