Britten Sinfonia Commission 2015

I have been commissioned, with funds from the William Alwyn Foundation, to write a piece for the Britten Sinfonia for their 2014/15 season. The piece, scored for string orchestra, will be premiered in March 2015 in concerts at Cambridge’s West Road Concert Hall, Norwich’s Theatre Royal, and the Barbican‘s Milton Court Concert Hall in London. All concerts will feature Thomas Gould directing from the violin in Locatelli’s Concerto Grosso Op. 1 No. 11, Hans Abrahamsen‘s Double Concerto (featuring Alasdair Beatson as soloist), and Sitkovetsky’s arrangement of Bach’s Goldberg Variations.
