I'm thrilled that next Friday in Glasgow's City Hall, the SCO and the Swiss Piano Trio will give the first performance of Lyell Cresswell's new Triple Concerto, to be repeated the following night at the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh.

There are reasons both personal and professional for my delight.
New Zealander Cresswell and I have known each other for a long time. We were contemporaries in Aberdeen – he was a post-grad composer, I was an undergraduate. One thing always intrigued me: Cresswell would let me see the scores of his music, but I never got to hear a single note. Things might have been happening slowly for him in his home country, but nothing happened here. None of his music was played at university, except perhaps the occasional small piece or arrangement in the context of a chamber music society concert.
