An excerpt from the 2014 commission, Ixion by Stuart MacRae
Renowned composer, teacher and University of Glasgow graduate Sir John Blackwood McEwen bequeathed the residue of his estate to the University to help promote the performance of Scottish chamber music.
Since the bequest, a rich catalogue of new Scottish music by the likes of James MacMillan, Edward McGuire, Peter Nelson, John Lunn and John Purser has been commissioned and premiered at the University.
We are delighted to announce that the 2020 commission was been awarded to David Horne. David's Reflecting Instruments was premiered by the Nanhai Piano Trio in the University Concert Hall on March 5th 2020.
