The 2017 edition will take place in Hull and feature twenty pieces with a range of composers including Mica Levi, Errollyn Wallen, Sam Lee and Peter Edwards all participating.
To mark the project, which will culminate in two celebration weekends in Hull and London’s Southbank, the Foundation invited the participants down to the capital to learn more about their commissions and how to stage them.
Daniel Elms, a composer hailing from Hull, was one of the composers present on the day and chatted to us about his work, Bethia commissioned by the British Film Institute.
