Opus 1 composers 2021 © Milly March Meet the Composers 2021
The eight chosen Opus 1 composers have now completed their compositions and these were recorded by members of Britten Sinfonia in September 2021. Before the recordings, they took part in two workshops with a mixed-instrument quartet, guided by composers Dobrinka Tabakova and Joe Cutler and musicians from Britten Sinfonia, which helped to shape their final compositions.
We enjoyed getting to know our Opus 1 composers during the workshop days, and we’re giving you a chance to do the same in our ‘Getting to know…’ series of blogs and our ‘Opus 1 chats’ series of films. Find out more about their musical interests, what inspires them to compose and their favourite snacks by clicking on the boxes below.
