Rough Cut is “the first stage towards a full concertante work for violin and ensemble, which will form an important element of The Mozart Project as it develops.”

Sheppard Skaerved launched the Mozart Project in 2015, with the concert series exploring “the ideas, colours, timbres, well everything which wells up from these amazing works.”

The concert was also the second of a series of two performances, called The Mozart Salons, at Wilton’s Music Hall.

The Mozart Salons is an international project involving musicians, venues, and institutions worldwide to explore Mozart’s solo and concertante works.

A live recording of the performance of Rough Cut can be heard here.

Lancaster’s Rough Cut won the Contemporary Music Research Centre’s national Call for Scores 2015.

Sheppard Skaerved chose the winning piece and gave an informal first performance of the work in 2015.

The work was subsequently published by UYMP.
