Very excited for the upcoming premiere of Exoplanet! This epic new work is a five-movement chamber concerto commissioned for Hourglass Ensemble featuring the incredibly versatile and virtuosic saxophonist Nicholas Russoniello, and 15-piece chamber orchestra conducted by the wonderful Joanna Drimatis.
This has been a major project of mine for 2023; it has been a privilege to watch the ensemble bring the (many) dots to life in such a compelling and vivid way. I’ve really “let loose” some crazy compositional ideas – always nice to be in a situation in which one can take musical risks!
Come along to the opera house premiere on the 28th Oct, and stay tuned for a recording in the works!
