UK premiere performances of a new string quartet for Quartet Page Blanche. The work is in 3 movements with two Intermezzi (which give a jazz derived pallet cleanser connecting to the rest of the concert programme where the music of Bill Evans is a big feature). It delves deep into the lower sonorities of this group of instruments, drawing out rich melodies, harmonies and driving rhythms.

This is my first string quartet in many years and I am thrilled to have been composing it for such a wonderful group of musicians, all of which are members of the Philharmonie Orchestre de Paris. The French premieres took place at the Page Blanche Festival in October 2024 and was performed 3 times in 3 different French towns.

I am particularly grateful to the Marchus Trust, Diaphonique and an individual donor for support of this work.
