An emotional, energetic composition about life itself

Public rehearsal for the new work Don't Leave Me Behind by English composer and jazz trombonist Alex Paxton. This composition was written with support of Ammodo.

Alex Paxton receives rave reviews wherever his music is heard. His music is boundless, full of overwhelming energy, exuberant colours and emotional depth, and is a contagious mix of joy, freedom and frenzied imagination. In Don't Leave Me Behind, he shows how music can evoke feelings that are part of human existence. The title refers both to everyday situations and to deeper social themes such as caring for vulnerable people.

World premiere
The commissioned work will have its Dutch premiere on Thursday 13 November at 20:15. during the concert by Ensemble Modern conducted by Enno Poppe.
