We are very grateful to the Angus Allnatt Charitable Foundation who have agreed to support the Sound World Composing Project.

Practical opportunities and ongoing mentoring will lead to the young musicians having their music performed and recorded by professional performers.

It is with great pleasure that we announce that Armando Iannucci has become the third Sound World patron.

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).
