Ronith Mues (Konzerthausorchester Berlin) will play a harp recital this Monday within the frame of the festival Ankunft: Neue Musik in Hauptbahnhof Berlin. The program will include Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s Sonata in G major and 2 pieces of mine, one being “Agonies and Ecstasies of a young Soul” that she premièred in Rio de Janeiro last May, the other being a brand new composition entitled Arizona.

The Norwegian carillonneur Laura Marie Olseng will perform “Les Chants de Pierres” this Sunday at 4 pm at the Church of Soignies. It is already a rare thing as a living composer to see your works performed after the première but -since that one is for carillon, the biggest instrument ever- I feel very lucky. Thank you Laura Marie.

The première of “Agony and Ecstasies of a young Soul” occurred last week during the 8th Rio Harp Festival. Ronith Mues performed it twice there beside a few classics from the harp repertoire (Fantasie by Louis Spohr, Légende by Henriette Renié,…). I shall post the recording at the beginning of June.

It has been a couple of months now but it is never too late to announce a piece of good news: Fritz Kalkbrenner’s new album Sick Travellin’ is out and my guitars are all over the place.
