If this blog were my child I have a suspicion the social services would have been round for an early morning raid - disgraceful neglect! Not without cause (yeah, yeah, they've heard it all before...)
It's been...busy. Spent a great week working with Tobin in Philly filming material for the new SharpWire show, Cremenville - we gave work-in-progress performances up in Leeds as part of Opera North's Resonance 3 and at the marvellous Farnham Maltings. The project was blessed by a fantastic team and some fantastic support - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! Thank you! Had the pleasure of sharing the bill in Leeds with Joe Townsend and Co.
Haydn C Major and Elgar with the sky-soaring Orchestra of the Swan - Errollyn's concerto looks like it's heading for a May premiere next year. Hang on to your hats...
Just got back from Jo'burg and Bulawayo - INTENSE and UPLIFTING festival and some bush-whacking. Leslie Howard (The Doctor), Ben Nabarro, Ania Safanova and Michael Brownlee Walker were just some of my flaming-fingered, marathon-stamina'd colleagues...what a time!
And off to Helsinki in 10 days to begin work on a duet with dancer/choreographer, Satu Elovaara - if things go well may well come to London next year.
So...busy...
