Last year I commissioned Aaron Holloway Nahum to write me a piece for cello & live electronics in 360. Here is a clip from the premiere at @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social ! Inspired by a Mary Oliver poem, the piece is called “Will I Ever Be Able To Sing?” A full recording is coming soon…👀

2025 marks 100 years since the birth of Luciano Berio! #berio100 We are so lucky he finished the cello Sequenza in 2002, the year before he died 🖤

Last project of 2024 tied off today - recording 2 new pieces for cello and spacial electronics commissioned earlier this year. And now - happy new year all! 🥳🥂 #recording #newmusic #cello #bts

Thank you Núria Ribas for these great shots from Festival Mixtur in Barcelona! #chambermusic #cellist #concert

At Weit Weingarten this weekend with Riot Ensemble. Highlight playing with Irvine Arditti in the music of Hilda Paredes. He brings incredible energy to the stage! 💥

I played this absolutely gorgeous Martin Arnold cello piece last night at St Luke’s. All natural harmonics. A comment from a friend afterwards stopped me in my tracks - why did I play the harmonics all in first position.

Wouldn’t everybody?

Cellists - please tell me what would be your preference!

Tonight - I’ll be blinking my Scottish blue eyes while playing this piano trio 👀 by David Fennessey at LSO St Luke’s, with David Alberman & Mark Knoop
