I am delighted to announce that my ensemble piece based on the photographs of Ansel Adams, Still River Air, has been selected as one of five finalists for the Daryl Runswick Composition Prize and will be performed by Trinity Laban’s Contemporary Music Group, conducted by Gregory Rose, at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich tomorrow evening, Thursday 14 March, at 8pm.
The performance will take place within the Maritime Museum’s exhibition of Adams’ photographs and the audience will be free to wander round the exhibition while the concert is happening.
Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance have produced a video of each of the finalists talking about their work. This is mine:
My fellow finalists are:
- Sidhant Kapoor: Om Shanti
- Josh Spear: Mater/Matrix
- Will Handysides: Advection
- Edward Henderson: Night on Bear Mountain
You can view videos of Sidhant, Josh and Edward on the Trinity Laban YouTube channel.
They’re all really great pieces and very different from one another – I feel honoured to be in such company! – so if you’re free on Thursday night, you should come along. £7 gets you into the performance and the exhibition. Full details are on the National Maritime Museum website’s page for the From Landscape to Soundscape event.
