Week of many performances

Posted on by

This week I am fortunate to have four pieces performed (that I know of). The first is my new ballet for the Birmingham Royal Ballet, Faster. I am in Birmingham for the rehearsals and the performances. It’s tremendously exciting to see the work of such an outstanding choreographer as David Bintley, and a joy to see music ‘interpreted’ to movement in this manner. Back in Sydney, the major work that I co-composed with William Barton, Kalkadungu, will be performed with Continue reading Week of many performances→

The final movement of the Kalkadungu (co-composed by and featuring didjeridu virtuoso William Barton) was performed recently as part of the 2009 G’Day USA celebration concerts in Royce Hall, LA and Carnegie Hall, NY. The performers were William Barton and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Arvo Volmer. The concerts were favourably reviewed, including by the LA Times.

“Heartland” performance

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

This Saturday, 7 July, my work Heartland will be performed by the Sydney Philharmonia Choir at the Verbrugghen Hall, Sydney Conservatorium of Music. The conductor is Brett Weymark. Written for massed choir and two pianos, Heartland explores various ideas of “home”. At the rehearsal on Wednesday it was sounding really good, with the choir suitably energetic and the pianists right on track. Interestingly, the Sydney Philharmonia are doing the original, “full” version of the piece before it was revised, and Continue reading “Heartland” performance→
