he loves the sun and the sun loves him
Our new composer in residence Jay Richardson has written a piece for Alison Balsom which will be performed by Alison with young Cambridgeshire Music brass players.

This performance of Jay's piece is part of our commitment to developing the next generation of classical composers and musicians through educations projects, funded by the generosity of our Create supporters. We are very pleased to be continuing our work with Jay Richardson, who last year wrote a piece performed by Esther Yoo with the Philharmonia Orchestra and young Cambridgeshire Music players, conducted by Vladmir Ashkenazy.

he loves the sun and the sun loves him is a love poem to the simple beauty, warmth and resonance of brass, inspired by Christopher Smart's religious poem Jubilate Agno.
