jazzy_daveMorning dear readers. I am off to Medway today. I have a charity shop visit in Rochester and then a chocolate shop visit over at Bluewater.
Once those are done and reports finished I will be heading to my local watering hole, The leading Light, to have a few drinks with my mate, Phil.
Meanwhile, I am listening to some modern classical music by Julian Anderson, and yes, not a name I have heard before, but his CD of music was highly praised in the Wire during 2006.
From Wiki -
Anderson was born in London. He studied at Westminster School, then with John Lambert at the Royal College of Music, with Alexander Goehr at Cambridge University, privately with Tristan Murail in Paris, and on courses given by Olivier Messiaen, Per Nørgård and György Ligeti.
From 2000 to 2004 he was Head of Composition at the Royal College of Music, and from 2004 to 2007 Fanny P. Mason Professor of Music at Harvard University. He is currently Professor of Composition and Composer in Residence at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He was Composer-in-Association with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra from 2001 to 2005 and Daniel R. Lewis Fellowship Composer with The Cleveland Orchestra from 2005 to 2007. From 2002 to the end of the 2010-11 concert season, he was artistic director of the 'Music of Today' concert series run by the Philharmonia Orchestra in London. From 2013-16 he was Composer in Residence with Wigmore Hall.
So he certainly has some pedigree there.
