Over the years RVW funding has been there for me, and countless other composers – a steadfast supporter for the creation of new music. This dedication to investing and supporting projects has been invaluable for so many creatives and has allowed me personally to explore and progress my own craft.

His music continues to inspire us. Its incredible breadth of style and outlook seems especially important in our polarised times

Funding has allowed us to commission many composers at various stages of their careers and bring their music to life, both through live performances and CD recordings.
