MUSIC FOR THEATRE

I have just composed the original music for a new play- Two Men of Florence by the American writer Richard N. Goodwin,directed by Ed Hall at the Huntington Theatre, Boston, Massachusettes. A fascinating  piece about the struggle between the astronomer Galileo and the Pope in 1600. The production played to fantastic houses -sold out with standing ovations.

Also I have just composed a new soundtrack for The Publick Theatre Boston’s current production of Humble Boy playing at the Plaza Theatre at the Boston Center for the Arts, Massachussettes,directed by Diego Arciniegas.

MUSIC FOR RADIO

My music can be heard in an exciting new weekly BBC Radio 4 current affairs programme  The Report,  edited by Hugh Levinson and produced by Nicola Meyrick, which is currently aired on Thursdays at 8pm. featuring news with a variety of topical items,subjects ranging from Dignitas to Saudi Arabian arms sales.

MUSIC FOR FILM

In April, my music can be heard at Bafta in a short film directed by Patrick Lau-A Christmas Tale .
