I have been selected as one of eight composers to take part in a project with acclaimed pianist and keyboardist, Xenia Pestova, who currently serves as Director of Performance at the University of Nottingham's department of Music. The project is based around the toy piano and includes the commissioning of a short piece from each participant composer, to be premiered at a concert in London on Saturday 18 March.
'Colour Etude I' to be premiered in Cardiff
Colour Etude I has been selected by the Sleeper Society to receive its premiere at their concert in Cardiff next month. The concert will take place at the Chapter Arts Centre on Monday 23rd January and tickets are available via this link.
Sleeper Society wrote the following to me about Colour Etude I:
"We thoroughly enjoyed listening to your piece, and were blown away by the ways in which your computer-generated piece contained such successful musical development and pace, more so than any other similarly derived pieces. It develops with sheer beauty, elegance and personality."
