Just heard a rehearsal for this - it promises to be a SPECTACULAR launch concert - very definitely not to be missed!! @CambridgeSong @JenniferWitton @RCeriOwen
Looking forward to heading to opening night of inaugural @CambridgeSong Festival & hearing works by @rcauston, @CherylHoad, Robin Holloway & others. Touched that @JenniferWitton & @RCeriOwen have programmed my Seamus Heaney setting 'Through galleried earth' in such good company.

Really looking forward to conducting this special concert! Come for the 🍷& conversation, but stay for the tunez??? 🎶🎶🎶
Opus Ones explores with @rcauston, Julian Anderson & @joylisney the concept behind writing an Op. 1. This somewhat sets a precedent for one's style, no matter how that style changes. Does one retract their work later if it no longer represents them? Join us for 🍷& 🎶 for more.
