While I’ve been focused on our Adelaide Festival show, I’m thrilled to announce the release of a new @hushfoundation album for which I had the honour of creating orchestra arrangements 🙏💖

I had the honour of arranging @naomicrellin’s beautiful songs for this gorgeous album especially written for Maternity departments of hospitals.

A huge honour to be part of this amidst songs by the all-star likes of @katemillerheidke, @missyhigginsmusic, @washingtongram, @emilywurramara_ , and beautiful arrangements by @jessgwells as always along with others, an honour to be part of this alongside such awesome musos.

Performed by @tasmaniansymphonyorchestra conducted by Benjamin Northey

Thanks to The Hush Foundation, Catherine Crock Laura Harper

Overwhelmed by the amazing reviews for ‘Watershed: the Death of Dr Duncan’. I’m forever indebetted to all the incredible team of artists and creatives who have devoted so much passion and humanity to our show. My hope is that the show’s music will live on in future performances by choirs of all styles and backgrounds, and I’m honoured to have already received interest from various choirs around Australia

So extremely delighted to hear @sydneychamberchoir’s Garden of the Soul concert with the #worldpremiere of my Australian Song Cycle was well received. Devastated I couldn’t be there but still so proud and honoured. Huge thank you to the Maury family and @samallchurch for making this possible 🙏🙏🙏

Posted @withregram • @sydneychamberchoir We did it!

Thank you Joe Twist for your powerful music, the indefatigable Sam Allchurch, to Jem Harding and Anthea Cotte and everyone who worked so hard to finally bring this program to the stage.

What an honour to introduce An Australian Song Cycle to the repertoire.

Thank you to all who came!
