Dreamfighter first reading session

Just heard from Tim Sutton, the composer jointly commissioned by the Lichfield Festival and Scottish Ensemble to write a major new work for families. As I write he is heading back to London from Glasgow where he has had a fantastic first reading session with Scottish Ensemble in readiness for the world premiere in Lichfield on July 12 and repeat performances on 6 August as part of the Aberdeen International Youth Festival. The school's performance in Lichfield on July 13 has already sold out.
Entitled Dreamfighter, and based on Ted Hughes' collection of short stories Dreamfighter and Other Creation Tales, Sutton's new work will be for, obviously, the Scottish Ensemble, but also a narrator and youth choir. In both Lichfield and Aberdeen, the narrator will be the wonderful Hannah Conway, while the choir will be Taplow Girls' Choir in Lichfield and the NYCoS National Girls Choir in Scotland.
Dreamfighter has been made possible with funding from the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Scottish Arts Council and the PRS Foundation.
