Lovely arc of a programme from Riot Ensemble: joyous sonic assault from Anna Meredith, maximalist madness from Alex Paxton, and a drifting cool-down from Eden Lonsdale: www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...

Riot Ensemble review – from meditations to mariachi in new music of maximal difference

The new music group’s engaging programme of works by Corie Rose Soumah, Anna Meredith, Alex Paxton and Eden Lonsdale moved from the swaggering to the subtle

Lovely feature in The Strad of my video of Zoe Martlew’s Salat Babilya - a solo cello piece that is entirely pizzicato. Great questions here as we get a discussion going on the technique we all forget to practice! #cello #stringplayers #pizz #musicvideo www.thestrad.com/video/perfec...

Last year I commissioned Aaron Holloway Nahum to write me a piece for cello & live electronics in 360. Here is a clip from the premiere at @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social ! Inspired by a Mary Oliver poem, the piece is called “Will I Ever Be Able To Sing?” A full recording is coming soon…👀

A fantastic concert from the Riot Ensemble this afternoon at the Wigmore Hall. Committed, virtuosic performances of two very difficult to play pieces by Brian Ferneyhough and Hilda Paredes. Wonderful to hear the Paredes twice and would like to hear it again.

I played this absolutely gorgeous Martin Arnold cello piece last night at St Luke’s. All natural harmonics. A comment from a friend afterwards stopped me in my tracks - why did I play the harmonics all in first position. Wouldn’t everybody? Cellists - please tell me what would be your preference!

Rehearsals sounding and looking gorgeous for this concert, especially for Rufus's piece - and it's lovely to work with @noisycellist.bsky.social for the first time and David Alberman for the (I think) third.
