Psychomachia for trombone and harp performed by Jess Anderson, trombone, and Hannah Runting, harp. Royal Academy of Music, London, England.

From the performers:

"The work is being performed as part of a 3 day festival at the Royal Academy of Music. The festival focuses on projects performed, curated and/or composed by students of the Academy and aims to explore less traditional presentations and concepts. Our project is entitled 'Psychomachia' and it centres around your work and the idea of duality and inner conflict. We have chosen to explore this idea within the context of disability as we are both disabled performers who have experienced barriers to our art because of our differences."
