Premieres of works by David Lancaster and NCN composer Hayley Jenkins, performed at the Late Music Concert Series, York, have received superb reviews from Paul Conway, in Musical Opinion’s January-March 2025 issue.  The 2nd November lunchtime recital by pianist Jelena Makarova marked the centenary of Stravinsky’s Piano Sonata and the evening concert was given by the Amabile Clarinet Trio.   

We are delighted that House Composer Sadie Harrison has received a most positive review in Musical Opinion Quarterly Spring 2025, for the premiere of her work The Book of Stars and Sorrows by the fabulous pianist Lauryna Sableviciute. The concert took place on 10 August at Stoller Hall, Manchester, one of several events held during the 23rd Chetham’s International Piano Summer School.  

UYMP was pleased to hear David Lancaster's Swan broadcast on the RTE Lyric FM radio programme Vespertine hosted by Ellen Cranitch. The recording, made by the Delta Saxophone Quartet for their outstanding album Bowie, Berlin and Beyond, was played on Saturday evening (5th Jan).
