Auckland Philharmonic Orchestra, soloist Anna Leese (soprano)
Is that Annalise from Neighbours then?  Here's another rumour for your mill, David: Messiaen, La Transfiguration, BBC NOW/Thierry Fischer. 17 July, I think (I've got it written down somewhere but can't be bothered to look just at the moment). |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Looks like there's no Anna Leese after all, it was a google false positive, they're doing a "Last Night of the Proms" in Auckland.

The programme for the recent LAPO Sibelius concerts at the Barbican suggested that Karita Mattila will be singing at next year's first night. No news on what she will be singing though.

Yey! That's one for the Diary then. I very much enjoyed your Echo and Narcissus - will this bear any resemblance? Congrats - your first prom? Tommo |

Ta Tommo - my first 'Proms commission' but my third Prom - the piece will be for solo soprano and orchestra so may bear some resemblance in parts to what you heard in E&N (including the choice of soloist ) |

Just a thought Stuart, whats your opinion of the brass band as a medium for a composer. We have some very talented composers working with us these days. Be good to see more "claasical" composers write music for us. Whats your opinion?
