Smiles all around at St George's Church Hanover Square! Couldn't have asked for a better premiere with Mengyao on the piano and Sarah on the flute.

Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of performing in the premiere of my setting of Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" - I'm very grateful for the lovely reception it got from the audience, and for the playing of the fantastic flautist Sarah Marine and the perfect piano playing of Mengyao Guo!

Spring is definitely here - no better excuse to finally set Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" to music. It flew from my head onto the page with such force that I'm a bit breathless!

A brand new piece is in the works: as Spring is now blooming around our ears, I thought I'd write a set of springtime songs for choir, and this is the first of them.

I don't know how many are going to be, but I'm very excited for chasing after poems and feeling where inspiration takes me.

Everybody, both orchestra and children, is giving heart and soul at the premiere of "A Young Person's Guide to Mozart in Stamford". Toi toi toi everyone!

Very excited to be travelling up to see my premiere with the Stamford Chamber Orchestra, charting the history of music's most lovable rogue, Mozart. Toi toi toi everybody!

Today, I have finished mixing the recording of my arrangement of the Nunc Dimittis from Rachmaninov's All Night Vigil. All set for release on 24th February, the anniversary of Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine.

Goodness gracious, you guys appreciate my madness far beyond what I thought possible! Thank you very much for watching my Anglican chant adaptation of a Christmas classic.
