The Interpretation Competition will feature a new commissioned work by Nico Muhly, whose previous works for organ have been acclaimed by players and audiences alike. Set works will also include CPE Bach on the 1735 organ in Christ Church in London’s Spitalfields; and Petr Eben’s Okna for trumpet and organ, marking 20 years since the composer’s death.
The remodelled Tournemire Prize for Improvisation combines different dimensions of improvisational practice: prepared and spontaneous creativity, interaction with historical and contemporary materials, responsiveness to external stimuli and communication with fellow performers. The emphasis lies on artistic personality, imagination and the ability to communicate through music, reflecting the richness and diversity of contemporary organ music.
