"It sounds more like your job is to stay open."
So incredible to collaborate with @imogentrumpet and Dr Pippa Grange (sports psychologist/author) to create this new work for solo flugelhorn ...

We’ve been reflecting on finishing our most madcap and busiest season to date. One day we’ll make a repertoire list over the 50 concerts, and at times it’s pushed us to our limits but the commissions from @JosephPhibbs, @_ceharding_@AnnaAppleby were a real highlight 🧵
Loved visiting @_ceharding_ yesterday to listen to the first edit of our #recording of ‘To Stay Open’, her brand new piece for solo #flugelhorn 🎺🥳 I can’t wait to share the full work with you v soon and to perform the premiere @RomseyCMF on 30th June ☀️ huge thanks to @VWFndn!
So incredibly grateful to the amazing @PiattiQuartet and the @FRouthTrust for commissioning ‘The Holy Isle’ & ‘Kildonan’ as accompanying works to ‘Iorsa’. A huge privilege to continue this collaboration 🙏 X
Happy half time photo of us on the idyllic Isle of Wight post WP of our new commissions with @_ceharding_ ‘Kildonan’ and ‘The Holy Isle’
They can performed with ‘Iorsa’ our original commission with @3choirsthank as a triptych, incredibly evocative 🏴🏝️

"A fantastic concert, rich and strange and alive to the moment"
