Review of 2010

2010 has again been a successful year for me with many commissions and performances throughout the UK. My three year Junior Research Fellowship at The Queen’s College in Oxford finished in September - it has been a hugely useful and inspirational fellowship, working closely with the college choir, which culminated with the performance of Invocation in June. Choral music has again been to the fore with new pieces for various choirs and festivals including the Lake District Summer Music Festival (LDSM), the London Festival of Contemporary Church Music, the Temple Church Choir and various Oxford college choirs. 2011 will hopefully be an equally exciting year with pieces being performed in St Paul's and Liverpool Cathedrals and various new commissions including a new song cycle for LDSM. The Howells book should hopefully see the light of day as should the LCMG recording and there should be further LCMG performances later in the year - also I begin a new tutoring appointment at Eton College which should keep me busy!
