Two new short pieces are coming soon from Gareth!
The first is Fifty Fifty – commissioned by Dame Evelyn Glennie for solo bongos, in honour of her 50th birthday (50 bars for 50 years).
Dame Evelyn has performed Gareth’s percussion concerto in NZ and Australia (with the NZSO), and in Canada with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.
The second piece is Gem for solo piano, commissioned by Nicola Melville in memory of her teacher Judith Clark, who died in early 2014.
Gem will be premiered in Nelson at the 2015 Adam Chamber Music Festival.
