Zeb Soanes:
Special programmes and interviews have included: Dame Judi’s Classical Favourites in which Judi Dench shared her favourite pieces of classical music; Sir Simon Russell Beale’s Life in Music, recorded live with the choir of St Martin-in-the-Fields and a widely shared interview with Cynthia Erivo, focusing on her singing technique for the premiere of the movie Wicked.
His best-selling first book for children, Gaspard the Fox, inspired by his remarkable encounters with an urban fox, was published in May 2018, illustrated by James Mayhew. It was followed by Gaspard Best in Show (2019). The third adventure, Gaspard’s Foxtrot (2021), was conceived as both a book and narrated concert work, composed by Jonathan Dove, which received its world premiere at the 2021 Three Choirs Festival, performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra took it on tour throughout Scotland, narrated by Zeb, where it was seen by over 130,000 schoolchildren. Zeb and Jonathan collaborated again on his fourth book, Gaspard’s Christmas, which premiered at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall in December 2022 and has since been performed by the Hallé and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic orchestras.
