On September 15 the National Youth Orchestra of Iraq premieres Sir Peter Maxwell Davies's A Reel of Spindrift, Sky in Erbil, Iraq. Written for the orchestra and its conductor Paul MacAlindin, to whom the work is dedicated alongside the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the work will be performed as the culmination of the orchestra's summer school in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which brings together 45 young Kurdish, Arab and Turkmeni Iraqis.
