Today I shared my composition with BBC NOW - later this month, they will share what magic they've done with it. #CompositionWales2021

Looking forward to hearing my composition 'Silent City' played by BBC NOW soon. Sadly the first session has been postponed until early March but I had a cracking conversation with their conductor today about the challenges in my piece - at least February is a short month!

Gong hei fat choi!

Happy Valentine's Day! We hope you all get to spend your day with your loved ones. We thought Puccini's O Mio Babbino Caro is short, sweet and just perfect to share! youtu.be/xmoDviwjkZg

It’s time for another edition of ‘Composer Conversations’ where we find out more about everyone taking part in Composition: Wales 2021! 🎶 This week, we had a chat with George Owen, the #Cardiff-based composer behind ‘Silent City’ ➡️ bbc.in/2Q9e12b @TyCerdd_org

Marking St George's Day by starting arranging a fantastic English work for string orchestra. There's something very magical about this ensemble (made most famous by Vaughan Williams), and his everlasting inspiration is indeed behind Butterworth's Two English Idylls.

Antonin Dvorak died on this day in 1904. He was one of the first Czech composers to gain international recognition, using traditional folk elements in his symphonic works. Check out our arrangement of his Legends for concert band at owenorchestration.com/shop#works-for…

Born on this day in 1840, Tchaikovsky would go on to be a magnificent composer of orchestral music, known primarily for his symphonies and ballets. Did you know he also wrote four Orchestral Suites? Check out our arrangement of the first suite at owenorchestration.com/shop#works-for…

Isaac Albeniz was born on this day in 1860. He is well-known for his piano works that draw on his Spanish heritage, including the masterpiece 'Iberia', of which Eritana is the final movement. Check out our arrangement at owenorchestration.com/shop#works-for…

The view from pre-concert! An amazing experience working with BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and John Wilson on my new critical edition of Bax's Spring Fire. I can't wait to hear it on Radio 3 in a few months' time!
