Watch Darragh Morgan perform Études V & VI

Violinist Darragh Morgan gave the public premiere of my Études Nos. 5 & 6 as part of London Sinfonietta‘s Live Online event last night. You can watch the performance, and a short discussion between me and Zoë Martlew about them, above – my bit starts at 1h05m. The event also features Zoë talking to various other composers – Steve Reich, George Lewis, Alicia Jane Turner and Luke Lewis, Alys Scott-Hawkins and Ben Oliver, and Alex Paxton.

These new Études were commissioned by the Sinfonietta in 2020 but events intervened…violinist Fenella Humphreys has recorded my previous set of Études (Nos. 1-4) for her new album ‘Caprices‘, out next month.
