Armando Iannucci – our third patron.

It is with great pleasure that we announce that Armando Iannucci has become the third Sound World patron. The writer/director of numerous award winning films and television shows (including The Death of Stalin, In The Loop, The Thick of It and Veep) and co-creator of Alan Partridge, Armando is also known for his passionate love of music (photo by Matt Crockett).

Evelyn Glennie – our second patron.

We are delighted to announce that the Dame Evelyn Glennie will be one of Sound World’s patrons. As well as being the world’s first full-time percussion soloist, Evelyn has also been a consistent and committed advocate of new repertoire, with many major works written especially for her (photo by Philipp Rathmer).

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).
