Forthcoming Performances and other news
Sonata for female voice, flute and percussion has now been released on the New Music Brighton album: ... because it's spring. The performers are Debbie Bridge, soprano, Anne Hodgson, flute, and Adam Bushell, percussion. It is available for download at www.newmusicbrighton.bandcamp.com where the CD (available mid-January) may also be pre-ordered.
Patrick has recently completed a new work for viola and piano, commissioned by the young Hungarian viola player Eniko Magyar.
Other recently completed works include String Quartet,
which exploits many elements of open form, including that the six
sections may be played in any order and the parts are interchangeable
between the four players, and a set of ten Preludes for piano. The first performance of String Quartet will take place on 12 February 2012 at the Friends Meeting House, Brighton, and will be given by the Regency Ensemble.
Objects in space will be performed by CoMA Sussex ensemble and Chichester University Contemporary Music Group on 9 March 2012 in the Chapel of the Ascension, Chichester University.
Steve Dummer (clarinet) and Yoko Ono (piano) will give another performance of A Klee Diptych on 15 March 2012 at the Friends Meeting House, Brighton (MOOT - music of our time).
