Sadie Harrison and Alex Wilson awarded Ambache Charitable Trust grant
We are delighted that pianist Alex Wilson has commissioned house composer Sadie Harrison to write a substantial new work, generously supported by a grant from the Ambache Charitable Trust. The collaboration came about after Alex’s recent release of a Toccata Classics CD of works by the little-known Australian composer Frederick Septimus Kelly, who died at the Battle of the Somme aged 35. Sadie's pieces are designed to be interspersed between Kelly’s piano works, illuminating diary entries that he wrote throughout his life, chronologically arranged.
