💌 Received some post !! On 11 Jan, I’ll join City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra to premiere this new piece, conducted by Ilan Volkov. It portrays five magical siren-like characters (me!) as they each control and manipulate the sea (the orchestra!) in strange and powerful ways. The five movements follow the different forces that these mystical beings can exert on the water: the ability to control the tides, to make the waves dance, to pacify the swells, to create and destroy life within the water and finally to make the sea sing. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun and I can’t wait! It’s my biggest piece to date and I’m very proud of it 😊 Huge thanks to Ash Mistry for the beautiful editing & printing as always, and also Colin Alexander for all his support, help and encouragement over the past few months ♥️ Birmingham friends, I would love to see you there on 11 Jan ~ or if anyone fancies a little trip to Birmingham, I’d also love to see you there!
