There’s been new interest in my work “Gardens of Stone”. A very exciting version has been created by Dr Steven Stanke for full symphony orchestra. This performance will be given by Symphony Central Coast under his baton with myself at the piano. Steven’s arrangement gives the original 11 minute work (for piano & didjeridu) a whole new sense of grandeur and drama - like a Hollywood film score! We hope the free outdoor event on the Central Coast will go ahead in February 2022 as planned.

I’ve also just completed and published an arrangement of Gardens of Stone for bass clarinet & piano for performances by renowned musicians Ros Dunlop & David Miller. Another version has also just been published by Wirripang for cello & piano.

Meanwhile “Vulcan” is brewing up. It’s an exciting large scale piano-based ensemble composition.  The artistic concept has been in inception for many years now and I’m feeling really excited to have a crew of amazing artists on board. Vulcan will be recorded and launched in a Blue Mountains Theatre production when the pandemic situation is resolved. Who knows when this will be?? … and in the meantime the work progresses on the drawing board. I look forward to bringing this creative dream to fruition! Stay posted.
