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.

Absolutely wonderful time devising and executing artistic direction and composition workshops for production ‘Gauche the Cellist’ for music and shadow puppetry. We toured  4 additional support needs schools in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, giving 8 school workshops, 4 school performances, and 2 public performances in Woodend Barn Banchory, all in one week! Here is a lovely short clip of our show (thank you Symon Macintyre!) The production was made in collaboration with SCO Connect and Vision Mechanics.
