I'll be doing electronics for this newly-restored Jonathan Harvey piece with SANSARA at Lammermuir Festival on the 15th! It's been so interesting working on the patch with Gilbert Nuono. Also v glad to have another outing of my big choir and electronics piece, Ceasing.

Three Harvey pieces will be performed by SANSARA on the 15th September, Lammermuir Festival including newly updated Stabat Mater bit.ly/3Ky2elX

anna harvey remember standing near to your Dad (doing the electronics) at the RAH proms premiere of Madonna of Winter & Spring many years ago. Was able to tell him what a great piece it was. About to revisit his string quartets.

What constitutes musical mastery? What does it take for a musician to transcend the physical realm and enter a state of deep spiritual communion with the listener? These are questions you cannot ever truly answer, only allude to. But when you’re in the presence of it. You know.

Today at Blythburgh Church, two outstanding performers presented a wonderfully eclectic programme, from Dowland and Purcell, to traditional Sephardic and Andalucian songs, to Britten. A simple, pure meeting of guitar and tenor.

Karim Sulayman and Sean Shibe, you were a delight.

Amazing to hear Jonathan Harvey’s “Sufi Dance” performed by Sean Shibe in a wonderful programme at Blythburgh Church #aldeburghfestival

Great composer

anna harvey I did my undergraduate thesis on Jonathan way back in 1981/2. He was so very kind and generous with his time and I loved getting to know his music. Hearing his Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voce live years later was extraordinary.

anna harvey Such a kind soul and brilliant man. A rare creature! I treasure memories of working with him.

anna harvey I love his opera “Inquest of Love”…and wish someone would record it. It’s a masterpiece 🎶❤️

anna harvey Such an important voice. His choral works are among the finest of the last half century and more - the Missa Brevis being a particular favourite of mine. It was a pleasure to meet him in 2009. He is much missed.

Quin compositor i quin quartet més magnífic!
