REQUIEM

This years most imposing new work… The composer… seems to have heard every note in a score which, perhaps demanding in stamina (psychological as well as physical) proved gripping as well as totally apt for the Hereford ambience. Felix Aprahamian. THE SUNDAY TIMES

… a remarkable, poetic work…the quality of Burgon’s invention, together with the fineness of his ear, was abundantly declared in the course of this delicately written work. Desmond Shawe-Taylor. THE SUNDAY TIMES

…the work as a whole transmitted the conviction of a composer who had something worth saying and knew how to say it… Hugo Cole. THE GUARDIAN

… a substantial work of vision and profound feeling… Kenneth Loveland. THE TIMES

…at last we have a composer who can sound unafraid of his past as he writes for the present – indeed this is music with and for the future as well. David Simmons THE STRAD

JOAN OF ARC

… is a gem, moving and impressive out of all proportion to it’s modest requirements and simple texture. Felix Aprahamian. THE SUNDAY TIMES

THE FIRE OF HEAVEN

This was a good work, the product of a lively and original mind. MUSIC & MUSICIANS

...the work employs simple means to a most effective end. THE GUARDIAN

THE CALM

…the choreographic impact was heightened by the double cello score by Geoffrey Burgon, who is becoming a composer with as great an understanding of dance as Stravinsky. Noel Goodwin. DANCE AND DANCERS

The Calm, choreographed by Siobhan Davies, is a spellbinding work that has possibly one of the most captivating scores in London. HAM & HIGH
