Shiori Usui & 薄井史織

I am really excited to start working on a new piece “The Silent Forest”, commission by BCMG (Birmingham Contemporary Music Group) and AYM (Awards for Young Musicians). It will be premiered in Birmingham, UK on 17th November 2019.  🙂

I spent a really brilliant and fun week in the last week of November, working with wonderful Ellie Griffiths (Upfront Performance Network), Greg Sinclair and Joe Wright, creating a new sound theater work in collaboration with young people with autistic spectrum. Watch this space for more news! 🙂

It was a great pleasure to give a talk on “Deep” at the “Ways of Listening” course, the University of Edinburgh, UK on 21st November 2018.
You can listen to “Deep” here.

It was so fascinating and inspiring to visit the studio of Antony Gormley yesterday for writing a new music for his exhibitions at the Kettle’s Yard Music!

The concert will be on 28th June and the details can be found HERE 🙂

A happy night at the Scottish Awards for New Music where “from scratch” for large ensemble, vocal and percussion improvisation and live-electronics, performed at last year’s Tectonics Glasgow received an award for large ensemble!  Thank you! 🙂

I had a wonderful time performing the vocal part of my piece, “Deep” for large ensemble and live electronics with Collegium Novum Zurich and a brilliant conductor, Peter Rundel on Saturday 3rd March at Tonhalle Maag in Zürich, Switzerland. We also received a very good review from Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

You can read the review HERE!

I recently won the Ricordi Lab competition and will now start a three year publishing deal with Ricordi Berlin.
