Please note that this event is now taking place in the Silk Street Lecture Recital Room, not Silk Street Music Hall as previously advertised.

 

We're delighted to welcome leading composer Katherine Balch to share her insights and expertise with Guildhall School students in this free session open to all.

Called “some kind of musical Thomas Edison – you can just hear her tinkering around in her workshop, putting together new sounds and textural ideas” (San Francisco Chronicle)Katherine Balch is a composer interested in found sounds, playfulness, intimate spaces, and natural processes. 

A recipient of the 2020/21 Rome Prize, Katherine’s music has been presented by leading ensembles and festivals including the New York Philharmonic, the Tokyo Symphony, Musikfest Berlin, and Tanglewood. 

Join us to gain fascinating insights into her work and composition processes in this talk and Q&A session.

Free, no tickets required
