Young Composers / Introduction
Inspire - Young Composers 2010
"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones."
John Cage
"The BBC Inspire events are a must for anyone interested in what other composers are writing and thinking."
Joe Davies, 2009 Inspire Young Composers' Competition Winner.
