Lloyd Coleman, composer and chair of The Ivors Academy\u2019s Classical Council, said, \u2018As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Ivors Composer Awards, it is important that we look ahead to the next twenty years. As composers, we are affected by problems with touring, under-investment in state school music education, and financial pressures facing cultural institutions and venues. <\/span><\/p>\n
\u2018But the talent of composers in the UK, innovations in technology and the importance of music and culture to Britain\u2019s place in the world mean that with the right support and funding, there are good reasons to be optimistic. The Ivors Academy will launch a new conversation and campaign, Composers Under Pressure?<\/i>\u00a0during Composers Week to explore the challenges and opportunities facing composers today and how we can ensure a bright future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
