1. Some lovely funding news for my contemporary quartet The Hermes Experiment:

-we’re amongst the latest recipients of the PRSF Open Fund – in support of our upcoming collaboration with award-winning artist Mira Calix and composer Alex Mills (premiere at Cafe OTO 24 May 2018).

2. I’m delighted to announce that pianist Imma Setiadi and I have been selected as one of the Leeds Lieder Young Artists for the Leeds Lieder Festival 2018.
