Violin Concerto

The Violin Concerto began life as a conventional three-movement work, but developed into a series of nine ‚Episodes', of which Episodes 7 and 9 share very similar fast material. The work opens with an Introduction and ends with a Coda. Episode 5 is taken from a movement of a sketched work, Totentanz Berlin, for tenor solo (Christ, here a horn solo), obligato violin and a choir of female voices (here, woodwinds).

The Violin Concerto was premiered on April 18th, 2018 at St John's Smith Square, London, with Peter Sheppard Skærved (violin) and the Jupiter Orchestra, conducted by Gregory Rose.
A recording of this work was made on Toccata Classics, TOCC 0558, with Peter Sheppard Skærved and the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, conducted by Gregory Rose.
