I’m delighted to share with you my Sydney Symphony Orchestra fanfare Inspire, commissioned as part of the 50 Fanfares Project. Conducted during this recording session by the amazing Jessica Cottis and performed by the incredible brass of SSO.
To ‘inspire’ means to breathe in. This piece is about the glint of hope for the natural world that we witnessed in 2020. The resilient response of nature to a brief moment of human pause should inspire us. This fanfare uses breath through brass instruments to attest to and archive this moment, and so continue to inspire.
This work was made possible through the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s 50 Fanfares Project and was commissioned by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, supported by Rosemary Swift, in memory of Leon Garry OAM.
