Excavations @ Vaganza New Music Day

My piece for nine strings, Excavations, drawing in­spir­a­tion from 350 year-old Henry Purcell’s fantazias that was work­shopped by the Manchester Camerata in October of last year and has since been heavily re­vised, was given a bril­liant first per­form­ance at Vaganza New Music Day Deserts and Canyons: John McCabe at 70 under the baton of Robert Guy.
