Summer 2011

I am currently working on a clarinet quintet which was commissioned by maverick clarinetist Roger Heaton. As part of the Kreutzer Quartet, I first worked closely with Roger in Cyprus in the summer 2010 at the Pharos Contemporary Music Festival. I found his musicianship inspiring.

The piece will be premiered later this year and will be recorded by Roger and the Kreutzer Quartet for an album of new clarinet quintets on the Clarinet Classics label.
