VoxO, directed by Claire Hodge, has scheduled a repeat performance of my comic choral work, Tongue Twisters, on their September 13th program. This is an important concert for VoxO, because Claire is stepping down as music director after today. Claire has championed my choral writing for several years and has become a dear friend as well. But she leaves VoxO in good health and in good hands, with Michael Creighton stepping into the music director role.
In the meantime, Natalie Tsaldarakis and Panayotis Archontides of the Ivory Duo Piano are reprising a performance of selections from my suite, From the Faraway Nearby. They first performed selections from this work in Essex and London in 2008.
They’ve dusted it off as part of the PianoPlus Recital Series 2026 collection for a performance at All Saints Church in Orpington, Greater London.
