A new work for fe­male voice and two vi­o­lins, All the time that you have what we have. / All the time that you have., will be premièred on Sat­ur­day 22 Sep­tem­ber in a con­cert con­clud­ing the three-week ‘Voix nou­velles’ pro­gramme at Fon­da­tion Roy­au­mont, an ex-abbey, which forms the idyl­lic set­ting for a cul­tural cen­tre in the French coun­try­side. So­prano Marie Pi­caut will per­form along­side vi­o­lin­ists Yun­Peng Zhao and Guil­laume La­tour of Quatuor Di­o­tima.

Dur­ing my time here I have been par­tic­i­pat­ing in classes with Raphaël Cendo, Brian Fer­ney­hough and Al­berto Posadas while com­plet­ing the score for this trio. The con­certs will also in­clude music by fel­low com­posers Fran­cisco Al­varado, Saman­tha Fer­nando, Pi­aras Hoban, Wei-Chieh Lin, Eric Maestri, Joan Ma­grane Figuera, Julien Malaussena, Ef­s­tra­tios Mi­nakakis, Sukju Na, Chun Ting Pang, Josep Planells Schi­affino, Naoki Sakata, Ben­jamin Scheuer and Adi Snir.
