University of Aberdeen Composer’s Day

We asked Senior Lecturer in Composition Dr John De Simone how the department might mark his 50th birthday. Humble fellow that he is, we agreed on a day to celebrate composers at the university. Pianist (and former Teaching Fellow in Composition) Lliam Paterson kicks things off with a lunchtime performance of student and staff piano works. 

The evening is a joint concert between the University’s new music ensemble, Spectrum, and the Outwith Ensemble, a new professional ensemble in the North East, performing a programme of De Simone’s work for Saxophone, Piano and String Quartet.
