Concert Music
As a composer who loves real instruments, it is rewarding to hear your music performed live. Consequently, the idea and creativity of the work come to fruition and are expressed uniquely with the performer contributing their interpretation and bringing the music to life.
It is a true pleasure and honour to work with highly talented musicians that have practised their art diligently over many years and countless hours. The experience is very satisfying and brings a lot of joy to hear and witness the musical reaction of an audience and to touch hearts.

Flute Sonata in C
for flute & piano
In 2019, the debut performance of the 2nd movement of my Flute Sonata in C was performed beautifully by 'The Mirren Ensemble' for a memorial concert held in Yorkshire, UK.
With thanks to the performers, Elizabeth Wood, piano, and Kate Buchanan, flute.
review
"The varying bar lengths of the middle movement, always completely justified by the phrase and texture. It floats - a lovely stillness after the restlessness of the opening movement". P. Lawson
