March and April were spent primarily writing - including library music for West One Music and a new arrangement for Maksim Mrvica. Concerts included an informal private performance with the marvellous tenor Joseph Calleja at the Overseas League House in London. He casually mentioned that he had stopped in London on route from Munich where he had finished singing the part of Don Jose in Carmen, to New York for the Met's new production of Tosca! Other concerts were with Emma Johnson in Exeter, Wadsworth and Middlesborough where we performed Jonathan Dove's "Pied Piper" with 100 local school children - a memorable experience. Other highlights included playing the opening concert of the St. Endellion Easter Festival and a concert with the Rossetti ensemble at the Purcell School.
