At the start of the year, I was fortunate to have an orchestral piece called “Chef Concertino” performed at Birmingham Conservatoire. The composition department has an annual competition where composition students can submit works to be performed; the best 6 are chosen.

I would make more tweaks if I had time, such as more interaction between orchestra and chef, but there’s only so many hours in the day.
