The long-awaited companion to the best-selling “Once Upon A Tune” is almost here!
After a few delays with printing/shipping, “A Symphony Of Stories” will be published on November 14th! The book will be launched on 13 October, slightly ahead of the official publication date, with a spectacular orchestral concert at the RNCM.

I’m delighted to be sharing the stage with my favourite maestra, conductor Ellie Slorach, who toured “Once Upon A Tune” across Scotland with me and the RSNO; you can see that concert here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5PxIOf4PvA&t=45s
