August 2026: Dual Feature and Radio Broadcast in New Zealand
Thrilled to have my music featured over two consecutive weeks on New Zealand radio and global podcast platforms!! The Main Feature, Episode 168, originally broadcast on Free 89.0 FM (Hamilton / Waikato) on 17 August 2026, was a special edition of The Joy of Classical Music that dedicated a full hour to my compositions, including Marine – à travers les arbres, Amoration, Elegy on Sudden Loss and How Long O Lord.
Due to time constraints my most recent piece, Eagle Wood, didn't make it to the terrestrial FM broadcast, but is featured exclusively in the full, extended 73-minute podcast version of the programme, which is now available to stream internationally (Apple Podcasts).
The previous week, Episode 167 served as a wonderful soft introduction to the main feature by highlighting two of my sacred choral pieces.
Special thanks to host Andrew Johnstone.
