London Sinfonietta's Writing the Future programme supports composers at the beginning of their
career, allowing them to work with the ensemble. Products of the scheme are on display in February
2022 when Sian Edwards conducts Luke Lewis' The Echoes Return Slow and Alicia Jane
Turner's Tell me when you get home. This latter is a theatrical and sensory piece for solo soprano
(Ella Taylor) and ensemble, exploring gendered experiences of walking home alone at night
(6/2/2022). Another Writing the Future composer is Alex Paxton, and his new work inspired by
Grayson Perry's Walthamstow Tapestry and including elements from improvisatory workshops with
school children will be premiered alongside a new work by George Lewis (31/3/2022).
London Sinfonietta will taking part in Contemporary Music For All's (COMA) biennial event in which
COMA and partners celebrate the joy of participating in contemporary music making (6/3/2022). And
the ensemble's annual concert for young people Sound Out Live returns in March 2022 when Patrick
Bailey conducts a participatory concert which explores iconic works of contemporary classical music.
From January 2022, the ensemble's digital Channel will resume its World Premiere Wednesday when
there are monthly new commissions performed, alongside conversations with the composers. This
season all the new pieces will reflect the issues of climate change.
