I thought It was about time for an update; A busy summer involved coaching on NCO Main Orchestra at Rossall School in Lancashire, with a fantastic final concert in Preston Guildhall.
This was followed by my own Wind Chamber Music Course in Longcommon, Surrey, where we had two concerts and a resident string quartet for two days, coached by Hilary Sturt, and a great masterclass with Chris Richards from the LSO. We had 17 clarinettists on the course, all generously hosted by the Melville family.
Also I have just finished a fantastic run of first performances with [UNIT] with Bill Vine and Dan Tombs in the Old Shoe Factory in Norwich. do visit http://www.unitunit.org to find out more about this great project. also here is a video trailer. click here for unit trailer

It has been a busy summer on many summer courses. including a very successful Wind Chamber music course at Longcommon, for which I owe huge thanks to the Melville Family for hosting, Anna Hashimoto for an inspiring masterclass and Daniel King Smith for his always sensitive piano playing. (I will next be working with Dan on 25th November in our recital at the Wiltshire Music Centre – see post below.)
After that I had a wonderful week with the National Children’s Orchestras of Great Britain, coaching on their under 11s course at Port Regis School in Dorset.
I am now deep in preparation for the Roman River Festival. This year I am running an exciting education project based on the Lark Ascending, culminating in an orchestrated performance at the festival finale on Sunday 4th October.
