The Exile
I’m currently completing ‘The Exile’, which I have been writing in collaboration with librettist Gillian Pencavel. The piece is a chamber opera for four singers and Pierrot ensemble with percussion.
I was fortunate to take part in a workshop with the BBC singers at Maida Vale studios on May 2nd, where they workshopped a new two movement piece for choir I’d written, entitled ‘O Sun’ based on some writing by Irish poet Joseph Mary Plunkett.
I’m also working on a musical play entitled ‘A Brief Engagement’, which is a fantasy inspired by the works of Jane Austen, with libretto by my father, Orison Carlile.
