Associate Professor of Music, Dr Ryan Latimer, has been nominated for a prestigious Ivor Novello Award, for his recent composition Pound of Cure.
A single-movement work for string orchestra, Pound of Cure draws its inspiration from the private drawings of the visionary architect, Lina Bo Bardi, and was premiered by Britten Sinfonia.
“It’s such a privilege to have been nominated for an Ivor Novello Award. I’m especially thankful for Britten Sinfonia’s support over the years and for commissioning Pound of Cure. For the piece to be recognised in this way, and to be nominated alongside so many amazing composers, is really special. I feel very grateful.” – Dr Ryan Latimer
