The Daniel Thompson Memorial Competition for Young Composers is one of our absolute favorite parts of our programming. It’s such a joy to bring emerging new composers’ works to life and to have the pleasure of hosting them in New York for the premieres!

Congratulations to .mooney on the win and thank you to our other finalists and for sharing your gifts with us!

Our final composer spotlight for this season is ! Mixed Ensemble will be performing her piece “Media Vita”.

Kerensa Briggs is an award-winning composer specializing in choral music. Her work has been described by The New York Times as “poignant, ambivalent [and] quietly devastating.” Her music is performed regularly on international stages, with venues including Westminster Abbey, Wigmore Hall, and the Sistine Chapel. Briggs’s works have been recorded and broadcast by leading ensembles such as VOCES8 and The Sixteen.

Her portrait album Requiem (2023), released on Delphian Records, alongside several other recordings of her music, placed in the classical charts and was praised by BBC Music Magazine as “alluring and heartfelt.” Her passion for choral music stems from her own choral background, having sung with ensembles including Gloucester Cathedral Youth Choir and the Choir of King’s College London, where she held a Choral Scholarship and completed an MMus in Composition.
