Summary
Here we provide space for three living composers to reflect on their careers, and on their works. Together they form an indicator of the ways in which women composers have gained increasing recognition in contemporary culture. Among other distinctions, Nicola LeFanu was featured as Composer of the Week on BBC Radio 3 to mark her seventieth birthday, while both Roxanna Panufnik and Shirley J. Thompson were among those commissioned to produce new compositions for the coronation of King Charles III (6 May 2023).
