On December 13th The Octandre Ensemble will perform three of Christian's works, including the world premiere of Heaven's Chimes Are Slow (for flute and piano), in the wonderful setting of Leighton House Museum. Please see www.octandre.com for further details and tickets.

Christian was recently selected by Pierre Boulez to be commissioned for a large-scale orchestral work as part of the Lucerne Festival Academy Composer Project. The premiere will take place at the 2013 Festival, following a workshop in 2012.

Christian recently completed Learning Self-Modulation, a new violin/piano duo, to be performed in Paris, Madrid and London by Carolin Widmann and Simon Lepper in October.

The first performance of Christian's new work Incandescence for solo cello, written for the wonderful virtuoso Jean-Guihen Queyras, will be performed by him at this years Aldeburgh festival.
