March 2024 saw the culmination of our CoDi Composers' Studio pathway, in collaboration with UPROAR ensemble and conductor Michael Rafferty – a day of workshopping/recording new works written over a six-month period under the mentorship of Lynne Plowman and Richard Baker.
The guidance from exceptional composers and performers provided a potent development experience for the participants, and the music produced was exceptional. We're happy to share the resulting pieces – by Eluned Davies, Jake Thorpe, Joseph Graydon, Luciano Williamson, Niamh O’Donnell and Tayla-Leigh Payne – right here in this playlist.
Composers' Studio was made possible by generous support a range of funders listed below.
UPROAR is Wales's new contemporary chamber ensemble dedicated to new music. They develop new music in Wales through new opportunities and experiences for composers and audiences alike. Conducted by artistic director Michael Rafferty, the ensemble comprises specialist new music performers, passionate about introducing audiences to raw and adventurous new music from Wales and the rest of the world.
Lynne Plowman is a Wales-based composer perhaps best known for her award-winning chamber operas for young audiences created in collaboration with writer Martin Riley. Her music is often directly influenced by the natural world and is featured on several recordings by various labels, and regularly broadcast on BBC Radio 3. In addition to her composing work, Lynne is a passionate advocate of creative music education in schools. She is a composition tutor at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and the resident composer for the pioneering Dyfed Young Composers scheme. Her music is published by Wise Music Classical and Composers Edition and she is Chair of ISCM Wales Section and an Ivors Academy Senator.
Richard Baker is a composer based in Ceredigion. His works are often concerned with the transcription and transformation of extra-musical material, and include The Tyranny of Fun (2013, commissioned by Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, nominated for a Royal Philharmonic Society Chamber-Scale Composition Award); The Price of Curiosity (2019, for the BBC Symphony Orchestra/Radio 3); and Motet II (2020, for Ensemble Télémaque, Marseille). He is currently working on a piano trio for the ATOS Trio, a commission from Wigmore Hall. Since 2004 he has taught composition at Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where he is currently a Research Fellow.
