Went to the following at Birmingham Conservatoire tonight:

Chamber Works of Gerald Barry

Cello: Robin Michael
Piano: Huw Watkins
plus Conservatoire students

Gerald Barry  Ø / Water Parted / Swinging Tripes and Trillibubkins / Things That Gain By Being Painted
Carolina Noguera Mechanisms
Harrison Birtwistle Lied
Huw Watkins Sonata
Howard Skempton Lyric

All the composers were there, except HB of course, and Howard performed a vocal part in Things That Gain By Being Painted.

Huw Watkins really is a very talented composer and pianist
