"Prism" gets another outing @1901ArtsClub by Fenella playing music from her latest album. Should be a very exciting concert in a swanky venue!

1 hour starting at 6:30pm so I can have a drink with everyone after!😃
Please come if you can!

@ASCAP @fhvln As surreal as it is to have my little 1:47 violin miniature on a playlist alongside Dua Lipa, Hans Zimmer, and Junkie XL, I'm genuinely geeking out over @bearmccreary who did the superb score to Battlestar Galactica, and Foundation, one of the best new TV themes for years.

[Michael Small @MichaelSmall22]

A huge thank you to @ASCAP for featuring my "Prism", and two other tracks from @fhvln's stunning new album on their New Music Friday playlist this week. There's a really fascinating variety here! https://t.co/sjOqvlhutR

[Michael Small @MichaelSmall22]

@LaurenceOsborn Very much in agreement, Laurence! Dutilleux is more ofrem played in the US, but Nørgård is sorely underrated. Though I have many favorites, 6th Symphony and Terrains Vagues are simply incredible works of his. Wish I'd been able to make it tonight!

[Michael Small @MichaelSmall22]

😱😱😱😱😎 amazing!!! Nice one, Fenella!!! It's a really beautiful and delicate album, please listen!

[Fenella Humphreys @fhvln]

WOW! Sneaked into the classical charts amongst some really amazing people!
Thanks so much to all you beautiful people who have listened to Prism! ❤️
It’s so great to be able to share this brilliant music!

Farewell, Mr. Vertigo. Paul Auster, 1947-2024. Truly an iconic American writer for me. Just like so many other greats, he has his own New York. I can't go to NYC, walking around the city, without wondering if my footsteps are spelling out letters...

[Michael Small @MichaelSmall22]

@WatkinsHuw How is this not AI's doing....!? 😂

[Michael Small @MichaelSmall22]

Look what we found in Foyle's, in central London! Thanks for all the amazing work, @fhvln !! Out on Rubicon Classics now - go listen and enjoy the wonderful spectrum of works on this album!!

[Michael Small @MichaelSmall22]

It's here!! Please go listen - there's some wonderful music on this album. Back in 2019 I wrote a tiny piece called Prism, and thanks to @fhvln 's hard work and ingenuity, it's now the title track of her latest album. I'm proud of it, it's the little piece that could! Enjoy.

[Fenella Humphreys @fhvln]

@LiddellBiles @fhvln Yes we can actually meet at last! Looking forward and excited to hear your piece!

[Michael Small @MichaelSmall22]

It's quite a surreal experience to have an entire album end up being named after a piece I wrote in 2019 - but I'm honored and can't wait for the launch concert on Thursday 4th April, St. Mary le Strand, central London, 6-7pm. Excited to hear all the other pieces!
@fhvln

Fenella's amazing playing has been a genuine highlight of the last 8 years since writing for her at Presteigne in 2015 - She's a steadfast, courageous, and omni-curious supporter of composers of all backgrounds - I can't wait for this disc to be out!
