I have received some wonderful news. Culture Ireland have kindly awarded me funding to attend the world premiere of my Choral Études by the College of Charleston Concert Choir under the direction of Dr Robert Taylor in Charleston, South Carolina, USA at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival.
I feel very honoured, am so appreciative, and cannot wait to see beautiful Charleston again and experience the activities of Piccolo Spoleto and the Spoleto Festival while I’m there. That’s actually St. Philip’s Church where the performance will take place in the photo above.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated to the Penbridge Trio concert series on Kickstarter. There really has been a fantastic response to the project and I’m looking forward to the summer concerts greatly (and finishing the piece!). Please check back soon on the Events page for concert dates.
I’m looking at setting up a Google Calendar plugin with the website soon so you’ll be able to subscribe through iCal and Google.
Results of the IMRO Feis Ceoil Composition Awards have been announced in IMRO News.
I’ve finally finished producing a Music XML Sound Set for my Edirol StudioCanvas SD-20 so that I can use it with Sibelius 6 properly. I thought I would share it in case anyone else needs it. It took me a fair few hours to produce and donations are always appreciated!

I have been selected as the winner of the IMRO Award for Chamber Ensemble composition prize in the ESB Feis Ceoil for my piece Aquastrata. Very happy and grateful! Further details on a performance will be announced soon.
