The excellent Natasha Anderson and I will be talking about things in the second instalment of Inland artist talks this June. Natasha will be talking about her latest ensemble work, and I’ll be explaining why I like playing old instruments in the way that I do, including discussing two recent works written for me by Natasha for baroque violin and viola d’amore. Come and check it out. 

It’s free! But it is necessary to book here. More details on Facebook or Inland.

For Inland this July, I’ll be premiering a brand new work, Nor Girdling Gnaw, for viola d’amore and six channel electronics by the inimitable Natasha Anderson. This is my first new piece for viola d’amore and Natasha’s first piece for it too, so you probably shouldn’t miss it. 

Details can be found at Inland or facebook. Tickets at Eventbrite. 

This July, I’m very lucky to be heading to New Zealand for concerts with Wellington’s newest early music ensemble, the Night Watch. We’re playing a tonne of amazing 17th-18th-Century repertoire including works with chalumeau!
