I'm pleased to share this recording of "Movements for Philip Sharp" performed by its dedicatee @PhilipSharp101. The piece has a special significance for me as it reworks material from a piece I wrote for Phil back at school. Have a listen if you like. jonathanwoolgar.com/2024/09/…
I’m excited for @ASMForchestra to perform my “Canzoni et ricercari” tomorrow, 7.30pm at St Anne’s Limehouse as part of @SpitsMusic festival. Full info here: spitalfieldsmusic.org.uk/eve…
Richard Sherman, who passed away yesterday, was an absolutely wonderful songwriter whose music I play and listen to all the time. Little-known but lovely tune below: m.youtube.com/watch?v=wpSRwA…
My piece “Movements for Philip Sharp” will be premiered by @PhilipSharp101 in Glasgow on Thursday 21st March. This is a particularly special and personal piece for me! Find out more here: jonathanwoolgar.com/2024/03/…
