“…one of the best pieces of new dance music this side of Stravinsky.” – Sunday Express (Jeffery Taylor), 27 September 2009

It was such a pleasure to work with choreographer David Bintley, conductor Paul Murphy and the rest of the Birmingham Royal Ballet (including the orchestra) on this piece. What an amazing experience to have a choreographer who so intimately responded to the music, and a conductor who was so committed to ensuring that the piece as a whole worked so very well.

There are forthcoming performances in Plymouth, Sunderland and London (Sadlers Wells). I may be biased but I reckon it’s well worth seeing.
