Director Thomas Guthrie received rave reviews for his sensational new production of The Magic Flute at Longborough Opera, with Gad Kadosh leading Fidelio earlier in the season.

Eamonn Dougan has been widely praised for his conducting of La finta giardinera at the Ryedale Festival with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s Experience Ensemble.

Anthony Weeden’s music for the trailer of Jurassic World: Evolution has just been released at Gamescom, Cologne to much excitement in the gaming industry.

Jack Liebeck played Dario Marianelli’s concerto, Voyager, to mark the 40th anniversary of the launch of Voyager II. Jack also appeared on CNBC on a Stradivarius violin, reaching an audience of millions across the globe.
