Composers' Workshop: Effy Efthymiou

Effy Efthymiou is a composer of new music, and creator and producer of multimedia stage works that harness music, movement, the spoken word and the body. Her work has been described as ‘Brilliantly realized’ by Tamara Guasi in Time Out, and as ‘a powerful statement for 21st century innovation’ (Timmy Fisher, Bachtrack, 2018).

Effy has won numerous awards to create and produce her work, including from PRSF (Women Make Music), Arts Council England, National Lottery, Wellcome Trust, Hinrichsen Foundation, RVW Trust and Playground Studio. Her work has been performed at festivals and venues across the UK, including at Kings Place (which has programmed three evening-long performances of her work), Queen Elizabeth Hall, Barbican, Sage Gateshead, Handel and Hendrix in London, Westminster Abbey, Bridgewater Hall and the International Guitar Festival.
