I have recently received the wonderful video recordings from the ReClassified concerts last November, which I have uploaded to my YouTube channel. You can enjoy them here: Three Passion Meditations performed in the eerie surrounds of Z Ward, and two birdsong pieces performed in the much cosier venue Stangate House.

It was a busy end to the year! In November I was involved in the ReClassified Festival, and I also conducted the Adelaide Wind Orchestra in their concert 'Mountains and Sky'.
One of the projects I most enjoyed working on this year was my most recent portrait piece, which turned into a bit of a 'piano sonata' actually. This was commissioned by my Aunty Robyn in memory of my Uncle Gary Priest, and I was able to perform it privately to family and friends in November. The aim now is to record a whole album, containing all my portrait works to date, and this will certainly be one of them. You can hear a demo recording I've made of the whole piece here...

My first paid commission was from the amazing violinist Sarah Curro - I still remember the original conversation, at the Belgian Beer Café off Rundle Street, one evening during the 2009 National Music Camp. Sarah, just because she loves music so much, has been commissioning and performing new violin music from a huge range of Australian composers since before then, and has now put the whole lot of them into a published book (with backing tracks for some of the pieces). Violinists, you should definitely check this out and buy a copy, I'm sure you'll love it! I'm honoured that my piece Letter to Balhannah is part of the official Sarah Curro VOLUME collection.
