Of Dani's First Opera Robin Hood
Cheltenham Music Festival
"Rousing premieres by female composers… Howard’s Gates of Spring, effectively the overture to the London Symphony Orchestra’s concert with conductor Elim Chan. Howard’s musical narrative charted Cheltenham’s evolution from country backwater to bustling spa thanks to the discovery of mineral springs three centuries ago, moving from rural calm to bubbling gurgles and gradually more explosive surges towards a fuller orchestral plushness..” - Rian Evans, The Guardian
