A
small grant has been obtained to allow Sioned Williams
to record The Stars Have Withdrawn Their Shining, which
Michael wrote for her. Based on the life of John Ruskin,
Sioned premiered the work at the Purcell Room and has
subsequently performed it in many locations, including
Holland and Iran. |

Michael's piece for tenor and piano, Dall'Alba al Tramonto,
will be performed, as well as a new commission. The date

| DORSET
OPERA |
|
|
 |
|
We
are sorry to have to announce that Dorset Opera have cancelled
their involvement in Michael's opera, Jesse Owens,
a last minute decision that was made just as Michael had
finished the piece after a protracted period of intense
work. Michael was aware that they had not given the project
the time and preparation to allow it to be brought to
fruition. "Although this upsets plans for the 2012
premiere", said Michael, "it is a relief to
be able to move on, and I am looking forward to working
with new partners on this project." |
