I have just finished conducting the British Clarinet Ensemble on their forthcoming CD release entitled Momento. This is in memory of my friend and mentor Charles Hine, and features music commissioned by him and the group over the last 10 years. On the same album, I have created and recorded a new arrangement of Finzi’s Five Bagatelles for clarinet and ensemble. The solo part was performed by Anna Hashimoto. The other works on the CD include Momento and Jumbo by Andy Scott, Three Haiku by Jeffery Wilson, and The Darkling Serenade by Stephen McNeff. Other works on the CD include Divertissement by Geraldine Green, and Helter Skelter by Lyne Plowman.

I will keep you posted in line for when it releases, and for now, keep an eye out!
