I’m hugely excited for the premiere of my latest work Airbender for bassoon and string quartet as part of Canberra Symphony Orchestra’s Australia Series. It’s been a real treat working with ‘rock-god’ of the bassoon, Matt Kneale. Also on the program is Cyrus Meurant’s Concertino for Clarinet, featuring David Rowden, and a new work by Stuart Greenbaum, featuring harpist Meriel Owen. All soloists are accompanied by Omega Ensemble.
