Composer of the Month

Tom Armstrong composed Brontë Antiphons, one of the pieces in the evening concert on 6th November featuring the Elysian Singers. Interviewed by fellow composer Steve Crowther, he describes the piece, his own background, how he works and reveals which pieces of music he’d select for that Desert Island.

Composers in Lockdown 2020

The lunchtime concert on 6th November features a selection of short piano pieces (“a dazzling explosion of creativity”) commissioned by pianist Duncan Honeybourne from a remarkable range of composers during 2020 lockdown, originally performed online, and now live in our concert series. Contemporary Piano Soundbites has a thoughtful review by John France. In our interview series, Robert Beattie talked to Duncan about the project.
