At the end of 2019 we said goodbye to both Philip and Rusne: Philip moved back home to Malta and Rusne moved onto her next chapter in Dubai. We had such fun together as a quartet, have so many good memories, and are really happy they are flourishing in the new chapters of their lives.

Hi William! Thanks so much for taking the time to chat to us ahead of us performing your piece, Doctor, as part of the NightMusic Series at St David’s Hall on Tuesday 14th April 2020. Firstly, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Good to speak to you! I’m a composer, born Hartlepool, living in London. I mainly write things for concerts but I’m recently doing a bit more other stuff – like this thing where I stole my parents voices and sent them to the BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0801kyg. I also run Listenpony, a concert series and record label for a peculiar mix of new, old and pop music.

Hi Mike! Thanks so much for taking the time to chat to us ahead of our premier of your piece, Frost Flower, at the Purcell Room on Friday 18th January 2019. Firstly, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Sure, I’m a British composer. I spent a long time working as a music director, composer and teacher in the theatre before turning to writing concert music about 7 years ago. I did my PhD at RHUL with Mark Bowden and Helen Grime, and I’ve been really lucky to have done some of the big orchestral development schemes with people like the LSO, LPO and RSNO. I love working with acoustic instruments as well as writing with electronics, and a lot of my work is influenced by the natural world, and the human relationship to it.
