It has been a privilege to hear my new piece “The Language of Eden” come to life with Roderick Williams, SCO Chorus and @SCOmusic with Andrew Manze!
Enormous thanks to all! And special thanks to Niall Campbell for a stunning libretto. This experience will live with me forever!

Unless I’m mistaken, I believe @GylesB1 has captured the end of my Composer’s bow after @SCOmusic phenomenal performance of my piece Bruckner’s Skull at @bbcproms 🤩 (see spotlight & light blue jacket along the bottom left screen). A magical moment!!

Last night at the @bbcproms … you can’t beat it! (I love the @RoyalAlbertHall - in 1871 they cd turn on the gas lighting for the whole hall in just 10 seconds. Electric lights arrived in 1888. I love an old gas lamp. “As an old gasbag,” says my wife, “you would”
