Lunchtime Piano Recital

1/8/2018

 
I enjoyed giving a Piano Recital today, 1st August 2018 in St. Marks Church, Lower Hutt  lunchtime concert series.
A programme of Haydn, Rachmaninov, Debussy and Ravel.  An audience member requested that I play one of my own piano works as an encore, but none prepared. Will include a composition of mine in the next concert there. Possibly my Sonata No.2 'Spirits of our Age II' inspired by the Hieronimous Bosch painting - 'Christ Carrying the Cross'.

Violin Sonatina No. 1

28/8/2017

 
I am delighted to have accompanied well-known Wellington violinist Barry Driver in the New Zealand premiere of my Violin Sonatina No.1 for violin and piano on Sunday 27th August 2017. I would like to thank Barry for his input and knowledge of the violin, which has been very important and which has contributed to the music. And of course to his fine playing. The audience on the day found the piece, 'Strong', and 'Dynamic', especially the second movement, which contains an original Ukrainian folk-like tune.
