First performance of "A Series ofUunfortunate Things..." for very beginner string orchestra on 6th December at the Forest Arts Centre, Walsall. 8.00pm. Sadly this never got recorded . Probably not a bad thing as it didn't go too well. I'm going to try and get it done in the new year when schools return after the Christmas break. Robot Wars (2nd Movement) is also on the cards (we performed this at the same concert, but the percussionist never turned up for rehearsals - arrghhhh so the piece was never going to sound at its best!!)

 

Here is a selection of material I've written over the years for various school and music centre ensembles. With the advent of Wider Opportunites for instrumental players, I've been writing for the very beginner player recently (these have the suffix WO)
