Fokkens Performance at the Purcell Room

The 2008 Park Lane Group New Year Series at the Purcell Room began the year with the London premiere of 'Words' by Southampton PhD student Robert Fokkens. The concert was performed by Juice Vocal Ensemble and cello and piano duo of Gemma Rosefield and Nicola Eimer, and included music by Nicola LeFanu, Roger Marsh, James Lindsay, Piers Hellawell and Kerry Andrew.

Another of Robert's pieces, Inyoka Etshanini ('Snake in the Grass' in Zulu) was recently published, along with a brief commentary, in the political/cultural journal The Liberal (Autumn 2007). Inyoka Etshanini was written for and premiered by Rarescale in London, June 2007. And watch out for Robert's contemporary cabaret ensemble Pulse this year - they start 2008 with a performance in Cambridge on Saturday 26 January with a programme called Love and other sports .
