Joseph Phibbs Joseph Phibbs was born in London, and studied at The Purcell School, King’s College London, and Cornell University. His teachers have included Param Vir, Sir Harrison Birtwistle, and Steven Stucky. His works have been premiered by some of the world’s leading conductors, including Esa-Pekka Salonen, Leonard Slatkin, Vassily Petrenko, Gianandrea Noseda, Sakari Oramo, and Edward Gardner. Rivers to the Sea, premiered by Philharmonia Orchestra/Salonen, received widespread critical acclaim in 2012, winning the orchestral category of the 2013 British Composer Awards. A more recent orchestral work Partita (a joint BBC/Koussevitzky Music Foundation Award commission) was premiered by BBC Symphony Orchestra/Sakari Oramo in 2016. His first large-scale concerto for clarinet, commissioned by Mark van de Wiel and the Philharmonia Orchestra, received its London premiere to critical acclaim under Edward Gardner in November 2017 at Royal Festival Hall. He has also composed concertos for Evelyn Glennie (Bar Veloce), Sarah Williamson, and Nicholas Daniel (Towards Purcell, a concertante work for oboe, horn, harp). His instrumental music has been premiered by, among others, London Sinfonietta, Chroma, Belcea Quartet, Orchestra of the Swan, Navarra Quartet, Britten Sinfonia, Michael Chance, Krzysztof Chorzelski, Gloria Cheng, Iestyn Davies, and Tim Mead, and has featured at festivals including Aldeburgh, Three Choirs, Bath, City of London, Hampstead, Spitalfields, Bonn Beethovenfest, Presteigne, and Cheltenham. His String Quartet No.1, commissioned and premiered by the Piatti Quartet, received its US premiere at the Tanglewood Festival in 2015. Future and current commissions include a work for Harry Christophers and The Sixteen, a chamber opera (Juliana, libretto by Laurie Slade) for Nova Music Opera (Presteigne/Cheltenham festivals in July 2018), a work for the Barbican Piano Trio, and a quartet for the Belcea Quartet, to be premiered in US in 2018. Three recordings (String Quartets 1 & 2, and the Clarinet Concerto, on Sigmun) are due for release in 2018. Since 2008 Phibbs has been a director of The Britten Estate Limited, and has taught at various universities, including King’s College London (2011-14) and Cambridge (2014-15).

In celebration of the founding of their new ensemble, Three Strange Angels, I wrote this little piece for tuned cowbells, crotales, tuned gongs and vibraphone. The title alludes not only to the name of the ensemble, but also to the insistent chiming and air of quiet reflection and meditation. Richard Baker Richard Baker is a leading figure on the British contemporary music scene as a composer-conductor. He studied composition in the Netherlands with Louis Andriessen and in London with John Woolrich, Hommagesquisse, was commissioned by BCMG to mark Pierre Boulez’s visit to that city in 2008. Richard’s compositions have been performed by the London Sinfonietta, BCMG, Britten Sinfonia, the Composers Ensemble, the Brunel Ensemble and the BBC Singers amongst many others. In 2010 his music was featured in the Philharmonia’s Music of Today series, and the same year he wrote Gaming, a substantial chamber work for cello, marimba and piano, to a commission from the New York-based trio Real Quiet.

Over 100 Opera Makers
#OPERAHARMONY CREATING OPERAS IN ISOLATION 1 3 WELCOME TO #OPERA HARMONY FROM FOUNDER – ELLA MARCHMENT Welcome to #OperaHarmony. #Opera Harmony is a collection of opera makers from across the world who, during this time of crisis, formed an online community to create new operas. I started this initiative when the show that I was rehearsing at Dutch National Opera was cancelled because of the lockdown. Using social media and online platforms I invited colleagues worldwide to join me in the immense technical and logistical challenge of creating new works online. I set the themes of ‘distance’ and ‘community’, organised artist teams, and since March have been overseeing the creation of twenty new operas. All the artists involved in #OperaHarmony are highly skilled professionals who typically apply their talents in creating live theatre performances. Through this project, they have had to adapt to working in a new medium, as well as embracing new technologies and novel ways of creating, producing, and sharing work. #OperaHarmony’s goal was to bring people together in ways that were unimaginable prior to Covid-19. Over 100 artists from all the opera disciplines have collaborated to write, stage, record, and produce the new operas. The pieces encapsulate an incredibly dark period for the arts, and they are a symbol of the unstoppable determination, and community that exists to perform and continue to create operatic works. This has been my saving grace throughout lockdown, and it has given all involved a sense of purpose. When we started building these works we had no idea how they would eventually be realised, and it is with great thanks that we acknowledge the support of Opera Vision in helping to both distribute and disseminate these pieces, and also for establishing a means in which audiences can be invited into the heart of the process too .
