Larry Goves Joins Composers Edition

It’s a great pleasure to announce that Manchester-based composer and artist Larry Goves has joined Composers Edition, presenting an initial selection of 19 works. Goves’ music has been performed by a host of first-class performers including The London Symphony Orchestra, The BBC Philharmonic, The London Sinfonietta, EXAUDI, Nash Ensemble, Psappha and many more. A recipient of the prestigious Paul Hamlyn Award for Composers, recordings of his works have been released NMC, Dutton, Prima Facie, Nonclassical as well as the the LSO Live and London Sinfonietta’s Label.

A restless musical explorer, Goves’ music often feature electronics, visual elements or specific performance instructions, enhancing both their musical and performative theatricality. He explores many of these elements alongside works by his contemporaries with his ensemble The House of Bedlam.

I’m delighted to be joining Composer Edition, having my music alongside some distinguished company, and putting my regular long hours of photocopying and binding firmly into the past. I have exciting projects coming up with a new piece for the lovely Solem string quartet, performances of recent pieces from The House of Bedlam and a performance of my edible marshmallow score from Kathryn Williams and Andy Ingamells (both for Nonclassical in May and February respectively) and I’ve been recently trying out sections of new pieces with turbo-soprano-extraordinaire Juliet Fraser and, most recently, the unstoppable Riot Ensemble (hopefully for performances next year). Please all buy all my scores, ideally in multiple copies, so that I can become astoundingly rich and retire to a private Caribbean island.
