Recent work has included Berg’s Violin Concerto with Pierre Amoyal and the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Elgar Celebrations with the Orchestra of the Swan at the North Wales Music Festival and the Oxford Bach Choir and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in The Kingdom. "Under Nicholas Cleobury's impeccable direction, the orchestra, choir and soloists gave a thrilling and moving performance - contemplative, lyrical and stirring as the work demanded." As part of his South African tour he conducted the World Premiere of Michael Blake’s Piano Concerto with the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Alongside his regular concert work he will conduct the Thallein Ensemble of the Birmingham Conservatoire, with featured composer Colin Matthews, in March, at Sounds New in April for their Messiaen celebrations and the Boulez in Birmingham celebrations in May, also with the BCMG. In the summer he will conduct Jonathan Dove’s Flight with British Youth Opera. |
