The UK’s leading charitable funder of new musical talent, the PRS for Music Foundation, has commissioned new music by Turner Sims as one of twenty works selected for the New Music Biennial 2017.
The New Music Biennial is a Foundation initiative presented in partnership with Hull UK City of Culture 2017, London’s Southbank Centre and BBC Radio 3.
The winning commissions present a snapshot of contemporary music in the UK including ten brand new works.
Turner Sims has commissioned pianist, composer and bandleader Peter Edwards to create A Journey with the Giants of Jazz for their submission, in which he explores the year 1917, a period that saw the births of some of the most influential jazz artists.
