As part of the Belfast Music Society’s 90th birthday celebrations in 2011, I was invited to work with young players from the CBSM String Orchestra during their weekly Saturday morning rehearsals.

As part of that project, I composed a new piece especially for them Take Off! which was premiered during the BMS International Festival of Chamber Music.
