About

Each year, our In Focus series invites trailblazing composers to the RNCM. Behind the scenes, they work closely with our staff and students, culminating in a compelling day of performances. This Autumn, we’re delighted to welcome Laurence Crane.

Meet Laurence as he joins Larry Goves (Head of School of Composition) on stage for an in-depth conversation. In between, our students will perform a selection of his solo works alongside a new work by one of our composition students.

Laurence has enjoyed a close and collaborative relationship with the UK ensemble Apartment House. They recorded a double album of his works, and in turn his music has been inspired by the players themselves. Tonight’s programme includes three of these pieces: Len Valley Us, written for the composer and pianist Tim Parkinson, Bobby J, written for electric guitarist Alan Thomas, and Single Harmony for the harpist Rhodri Davies.
