Concerts

On Saturday 8th march I'm playing at the Barbican with the BBCSO and the finnish pianist Paavali Jumppanen in a performance of the rarely heard concerto version of the Bartok Two Pianos and Percussion Sonata. Amazing music, and an interesting concert, presented to draw parallels between the organic approaches of Bartok and Van Gogh.

The following Saturday (15th) I will premiere my own piano concerto "Maya-Sesha" with the BBC Scottish in the City Halls Glasgow. It's my first orchestral piece and a source of much excitement/nerves! the title refers to two concepts from Eastern Philosophy: Maya, the illusion of our chaotic everyday lives, and Sesha, the simple core that lies behind it and remains after it has gone - and more specifically, in Hinduism, the name of Vishnu's couch, a snake who regenerates the world. Hope that's clear!

Both concert at 7.30 pm.

New Works

I'm also working on two string quartets, a short one (Shashankasana - or Rabbit(!)) and a long one (the flower in the next corner) for premiere in June and August in Brighton and at Dartington.
