‘Abide’ at Festival Hall with London Sinfonietta & London Schools

Abide, my piece for young intermediate musicians, is being performed by London Sinfonietta and school-age students from North London Music Hub, at the Sinfonietta’s ‘Sound Out‘ event for schools at London’s Royal Festival Hall on March 19. Patrick Bailey will be conducting, and has arranged the flexible piece for a large scale ensemble with wind, brass and percussion. It’s particularly nice for me to be involved, as the students are from Haringey (where I grew up) and Enfield (where I went to school).

Abide was written in 2023 for the Music Masters charity, and premiered by Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective at Wigmore Hall that year.
