I was 1 of 10 composers selected to write a work for the UK based jazz ensemble Interchange on their professional development & mentoring initiative for female composers 'Beyond the Secret'.

The work 'One More Day’ was played in an open rehearsal on Sunday 5th June and also selected to be played in concert later that day. Both events were held at the Howard Assembly Room, Opera North as part of the 2022 Leeds Jazz Festival.

Interchange's performance of 'One More Day' was subsequently chosen to be played on BBC Radio 3's weekly Jazz programme 'J to Z' - episode: 'Issie Barratt’s INTERCHANGE Live in Leeds' - broadcast 18th June 2022.
