World première of Festival commission A winter’s walk around Troitse-Lykovo Park by Gerard McBurney.
“I do like the imaginative approach that can encompass a Gothic Voices Hildegard of Bingen concert alongside Schoenberg’s reduction of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde, premieres from Howard Skepton, Gerard McBurney, and showcases of work featuring local school children.” Classical Music, 1999
