Jazz Ballet Premiere

Saturday evening saw the premiere of my Jazz Ballet Fantine at the Turner Sims Concert Hall Southampton, with yours truly conducting the Southampton University Jazz Orchestra. It went really well, especially considering how close we came to not doing it - it came together quite late on in the day. My thanks go not only to the wonderful players in SUJO, but also to the committee for agreeing to do it, and especially Matt Higginson the musical director, whose professionalism and har work saw this horse to the post.
I am now back into Superstorm, orchestrating for Episode 3. Eeeek: lots to juggle next week, including teaching at University and the performance of Face In The Crowd at the Greenwich theatre on Wednesday.
