BEHIND THE MIC


My Behind The Mic interview has just been released and was recorded LIVE last week at the  American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) conference in the US!  Hope you enjoy it!

CLARINET CONCERTO PREMIERE

The Premiere in St Andrew's Hall, Norwich
Me with Emma and Conductor Christopher Adey
I was so pleased to be able to get back in time from the ACDA convention in the US in time for the premiere of my Clarinet Concerto on Sunday.  
I wrote the piece for Emma Johnson‘s album An English Fantasy last year and Emma performed in this premiere concert too alongside the Academy of St Thomas orchestra and conductor Christopher Adey.  
It sounded fantastic live, and it REALLY went down well with the audience.  We’re working on a London premiere so keep an eye out here and on Facebook and Twitter for more details!
