John Pickard – Sound World patron.
We are hugely grateful to Prof John Pickard (composer and professor of composition at Bristol University) for agreeing to become a Sound World patron. John, who is perhaps best known for a series of major orchestral works and string quartets, has been a consistent supporter of this project and of our sister organisation New Music in the South West. It’s great to have him involved in an official capacity (photo by Katie Truman-Williams).
