Contemporary music ensemble Psappha gave three world premières in a concert at the University of Manchester's Cosmo Rodewald Hall on 8 March 2013. Their programme began with first performances of brief works by two young composers connected with the University. I Lost My Way in Dixieland , by Thomas Jarvis (b.1991), was a deftly realized deconstruction and reinvention of a popular jazz style, with a throwaway ending that made an apt parting gesture for a witty and enjoyable pastiche. And Sempadan , by Sayyid Shafiee (b.1987), made effective use of offstage trumpet and trombone interacting with on-stage clarinet, percussion and double bass, to suggest the concept of two different but complementary cultures.
