Some small thoughts on Wu Xing 五行, music theatre presented by Tangram Tangram, a trailblazing London-based music collective celebrating Chinese cultures and the fantastic Beibei Wang at LSO St Luke's @ LSO St Luke's instagram.com/p/Cn-8CTXIGsz/…

I was stimulated and deeply touched by how @mantawomanai deterritorialized and reterritorialized the Yangqin. It was as much about the instrument as it was about (unmasking) the person who plays/has a relationship with it - not merely as a virtuoso but as a very lovely human.

Imagine this music mixed with the sounds of aeroplane engines, ship whistles, and signals that come intermittently from the Thames outside the window.

So thrilled to see the publication of my work on Salvatore Sciarrino - my first journal article in English! (Thank you, MTO!) 🥰 More than two years between first submission and "in print." So many names along the way to be credited for my gratitude. mtosmt.org/issues/mto.23.…

「相好希有，鴻顏無匹。大慈大悲，如日如月。」 'Countenance of rare beauty, visage of unmatched grandeur. Great compassion and mercy shine universally on earth, like the sun, like the moon.' Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, China, one of the highlights of my tour back home. 😌

Such a privilege to be trusted by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation to write a "portrait essay" about one of the recipients of the 2024 EvS Composer Prize—Zhu Yiqing. Surreal to see it printed in German 🙈. For the original English version: evs-musikstiftung.ch/en/prize/yiqin…

As if breakdancing were originally a part of the Italian Baroque opera stage 🕺🏻 —a thoroughly choreographed recital-performance ending with a Jacob Collier-like audience choir ✨ An absolutely intoxicating night offered by Orliński and Il Pomo d’Oro yesterday BBC Proms

Proposal sent! 🤞 #SciarrinoConference2025 orpheusinstituut.be/en/news-and-ev…
