Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that my latest productions can now be seen on the London Symphony Orchestra website: promo films on the music and performers featured in the orchestra's 2008/9 season.
Already up on the site to view is 'Emigre', featuring two LSO players from other countries that have made London their home:

Next week, 3 more :
- Nikolaj Znaider talks about the 3 concertos he is performing with the LSO next year - by Schoenberg, Korngold and Brahms.
- In 'Love Brahms?', LSO players and Andre Previn reveal their passion for Brahms.
- In 'Last Words' Stephen Johnson talks about the final works of Sibelius, Tchaikovsky and Strauss.
I've made a lot more films, most of them longer than the promos above, which will be seen across the year on the LSO site - featuring interviews and features with Andre Previn, Valery Gergiev, Bernard Haitink, Nikolaj Znaider, Colin Davis and our resident specialists Rob Cowan and Stephen Johnson.
Hope you enjoy the films!
best wishes,
Tommy
