In 2020, I had the amazing opportunity to be commissioned by Illuminate Women’s Music to compose a piece for amplified cello and piano, which has been performed by Ivana Peranic and Rachel Fryer across the UK during the last two months.
Composers Sarah Westwood, Angela Elizabeth Slater and Blair Boyd work together on this fantastic project that seeks to support and promote women’s music through commissions and a series of concerts that actually allow us to develop and share our work.
I have shared some thoughts about me and this particular composition, which is part of my current research on timbre from a textural perspective. Finally, I extend the invitation to get to know other composers that have been also part of this season.
