I've spent the past few months in a porcelain world, on the trail of Edmund de Waal's 'pilgrimage of sorts', The White Road.  His art and writing, alongside his passion for the poetry of Paul Celan, formed the backdrop for my new piece, Psalm.  It's been commissioned for the Aurora Orchestra's On White festival, a fantastic series of concerts they're producing with de Waal, which also includes Zender's arrangement of Winterreise, a particular favourite of mine.
