Bravo organist Simon Nieminski for April 10th Oz premiere of my Stations of the Cross at St Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney with Stabat mater tropes sung by St Mary’s Cathedral Scholars.

Muchly looking forward to May 17th Brighton Festival premiere by Stile Antico & Rihab Azar of my new piece Bodrum Beach for 12 voices & oud.

May 29th 2019 Best wishes to Endellion Quartet for their 40th anniversary concert at Wigmore Hall on May 29th, which will feature the world premiere of my Endellionigma. facebook.com/events/4593181… Photo by Eric Richmond:

A great honour to be included in the Endellions’ 40th birthday concert at the Wigmore on May 29th – a short new piece called Endellionigma. They don’t often play new music, but when they do, it sounds wonderful because they play it in the most natural & sympathetic way.

Thank you, Andrew, Ralph, Garfield & David! hearing you always reminds me why I became a musician.

My cousin, Elizabeth Maconchy, described the quartet as a passionate conversation. We are so lucky to have had the benefit of the Endellions’ passionate conversation for so many years.

Hats off to organist Simon Nieminski! His recording of my Stations of the Cross (Resonus) recently appeared as a CD. A heroic achievement! resonusclassics.com/swayne-station…

I think this is a tweet, but am not sure. After the tragic departure of D Trump from the Twittersphere I felt it behoved me to take his lamented place, put on a blonde toupé, and make an ass of myself. Fortunately I'm not POTUS

A brilliant new disc from Giles Swayne on piano & violist Malu Lin performing Swayne's Duo (1975) & Echo (1996) and Nicola LeFanu’s Abstracts and a Frame (1971). resonusclassics.com/relationships-…

At 7pm on Wed 2nd Oct 2024, the world-famous revolving organ virtuoso James McVinnie continues his Festival Hall residency with a recital titled Fantasias. His programme includes my old friend Riff-raff (written in 1983) which he has recently recorded. BE THERE - I shall!
