She also won an Arts Foundation Award for the opera Hey Persephone! for Aldeburgh and Almeida Festivals.
Recently, Deirdre has been exploring links between music and genetics at Sanger Institute, Cambridge and UCL London, developing music codes from human DNA. She is Artistic Director of the Venus Blazing Music Theatre Trust, working with young people with learning disabilities.
