Additional Information

Full Orchestral Score.

Premiered at BBC Proms 30th July, 2022 by the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Alice Farnham. Zoe Brookshaw (Soprano)

What will happen to humanity over the next 100 years? If we speak the truth, we know there is a need for change, in all aspects of our lives. It is within each one of us to see the future and to find our way back home.

I wanted the piece to move between life on earth today with all the issues we face as humanity with the possibility of a better way forward as we move towards 2122.
