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. |
