The word collaboration is key in describing the relationships that we most enjoy with our clients and Julian Anderson is a great example. At the time that we began our work with him, Julian Anderson was Young Composer Fellow in Cleveland, Professor of Music at Harvard, and published by Faber Music. Keen to build on relationships both within the UK music profession and internationally, we have assisted in the development of many lasting partnerships, including with Steven Osborne for whom he composed his piano concerto The Imaginary Museum which was premièred at the BBC Proms in 2017, and Semyon Bychkov who gave the UK première of Fantasias. Semyon Bychkov has subsequently instigated the commissioning of a large-scale symphonic work which he was meant to première with the BBC Symphony Orchestra in August 2020. Performances are stll scheduled to take place with the Munich Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra and the Czech Philharmonic during the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons.

Our project base work with Julian Anderson has established a pattern of working with composers which has formed the blue print for all subsequent composer relationships, enabling us to work on an ad hoc basis while using every opportunity to collaborate whether directly or through our relationships with fellow musicians and industry colleagues. Now considered one of the music successful composers of his generation and published by Schott Music as well as Faber, Julian Anderson generally summed up our long-term collaboration as “astonishingly productive.”
