I’m delighted to announce that I have been awarded a grant from the Composers’ Fund, supported by the PRS for Music Foundation and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, if you want to know more of the foundation go to this website. This substantial award is to support research and development on compositional techniques with spoken word and music, particularly with an eye to developing my next large-scale music theatre piece, and the long-term development of my compositional practice.  A huge thanks to both foundations for their support.
