Endgame, for large chamber ensemble, explores the interactions of just a couple of small fragments of material. The piece follows these two musical characters on a journey through a variety of dramatic situations. Just like people they interact, argue, stretch, coalesce and develop as events progress, but ultimately their core remains the same.

Endgame was premiered by the Chimera Ensemble in York on the 22 June 2012.
