'The Caves of Crozon' for Orchestra, performed by the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra on 10th March 2016, in the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford.

Crozon is a small town in Brittany, and along the coast line there are the most amazing caves, accessible only by sea. The interaction between the swell of the ocean, the rain falling through openings in the top of the caves and the generally ominous feeling created by this landscape has inspired this piece.
