Dur­ing the in­ter­val of BBC Radio 3’s live con­cert broad­cast on Fri­day 2 March, you can hear me talk­ing to King Ed­ward Mu­si­cal So­ci­ety chair­man Tim Ward about my or­ches­tral work June Un­fold­ing, which they pre­miered last sum­mer as part of the cel­e­bra­tions for the 750th an­niver­sary of the royal char­ter of Mac­cles­field. The piece was writ­ten as part of Sound and Music, Mak­ing Music and PRS for Music Foun­da­tion’s Adopt a Com­poser pro­ject, so many thanks go to them for pair­ing me up with KEMS. As well as us talk­ing, you’ll also get to hear some ex­cerpts of my piece and about the col­lab­o­ra­tion be­tween An­drew Hall and Essex Sym­phony Or­ches­tra. Lis­ten in!
