Komos Choral Composition Winner!
I am very happy to be able to share that I have won first prize in the Komos Choral Competition! I entered my work ‘Nothing and Everything’ for TTBB choir in the 6th Komos International Choral Competition because it related to LGBTQI themes (and was written originally for the LGMC in a project called shame chorus curated by Jordan McKenzie). The score for this work will be published by the Publishing House AltrEdizioni and will be performed by Komos – Bologna’s Gay Men’s Choir in the future.
LGMC arrangements tonight! SOLD OUT!
This evening the London Gay Men’s Chorus will be performing at the Cadogan Hall and I am very much looking forward to sharing the arrangements I have written for the choir. Sadly I am not able to be in attendance this evening but I wish the choir every success with the concert!
Christmas commissions in May!
When the weather is not so summery it feels slightly less weird to have been working on a few Christmas commissions for the London Gay Men’s Chorus. I don’t think I am supposed to spoil the surprise of the arrangements I have been asked to create, you’ll have to book tickets to the concert later in the year. I’ll update this sight when I have more information.
LGMC Concert 15th/16th June 2018
I was very privileged to hear the London Gay Men’s Chorus perform my piece ‘Nothing and Everything’ last night at the Cadogan Hall, London. It was a lovely concert programme with lots of successful arrangements, making for a very varied programme indeed. The choir performed the piece very emotionally and I would like to thank all involved for choosing the piece and working on it so well! Best of luck for tonight’s performance!
Shame Chorus Performances
My piece for Jordan Mckenzie’s ‘Shame Chorus’ titled ‘Nothing and Everything’ is going to be shown at the B Side Festival on the 10 &11th September and then at the Irish Centre in Camden on the 8th October. Here is the link for B Side: http://b-side.org.uk – check out what’s going on!
Shame Chorus at the Freud Museum
I am looking forward to the premiere of my new piece ‘Nothing and Everything’ as part of the ‘Shame Chrous’ this month. It will be great to hear the other composers’ pieces too. The brief was very unique. We were asked to read anonymous interview transcripts and write a piece based around the material brought up in the interviews. I have never written a piece in this way before, and I think that it will make for a very diverse and moving concert.
