✨Artist Announcement✨Fiona Troon

Fiona will be leading the first session of the day, massed ensemble, where we will be getting stuck in to her new piece “Shifting Fifty” which has been commissioned to celebrate the CASSGB’s fiftieth anniversary.

“Shifting Fifty” explores divisions of the number fifty through
numerical phrase structures and polytonal themes of celebration.

Fiona is also a professional bassoonist and contrabassoonist who studied at Birmingham Conservatoire and the Royal College of Music from 1997-2003. She has freelanced widely in the UK, appearing with many major orchestras and ensembles such as the BBC Concert, Symphony and Philharmonic Orchestras, Manchester Camerata, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, The Royal Shakespeare Company, and many others. Fiona held a tenured position in the orchestra of the Municipal Theatre of Santiago, Chile, from 2009 until 2021, when she returned to the UK to
embark on a part-time Masters in composition at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

Fiona has a particular interest in creating compositional frameworks that enable improvised and notated
practices to co-exist and interact and therefore enjoys working with musicians from a wide variety of backgrounds.

We’re really looking forward to welcoming Fiona to CASSGB and can’t wait to hear her piece!

Here's the video of the performance of "Witness"/"Tesitgo", my piece for untuned percussion about the social uprising in Chile from October 2019 to March 2020. (Performed in the Bradshaw Hall of Royal Birmingham Conservatoire on 14th September 2021.) The topic is emotive and can be triggering, nevertheless it was cathartic to write! I hope you enjoy it. ALL SHARES APPRECIATED! X
