With just under a month to go, we’re excited to announce the first Ivors Composer Week taking place from 14th to 20th November 2022, celebrating contemporary composing across classical, jazz and sound arts.

Established to mark the twentieth anniversary of The Ivors Composer Awards, the week includes events that bring established and new composers together with the music industry to honour their craft and achievements, and explore issues that they are facing today. The week is in support of The Ivors Academy Trust.
