Peter Reynolds: September 2016
http://petereynoldscomposer.blogspot.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 September 2016. I've been down in West Wales for several days taking part in workshops to encourage school age students to compose. The scheme is run by Dyfed Young Composers – a scheme in which young composers in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokshire work with top quality players. This year they will be working with violinist Steve Bingham. And percussionist Chris Brannick. I was honoured to be their Composer in Residence between 2010-13 and am very happy to be back again this year.
