In the Corn Exchange's 30th Cambridge Classical Concert Series season, Jay Richardson has been appointed composer in residence.
Cambridge Corn Exchange began working with Jay last year when he composed laulan, a piece inspired by Finnish folk song and the work of Sibelius, which was performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra and young Cambridgeshire Music players. For this Classical Series, Jay will be composing a piece for artist in residence, the trumpeter Alison Balsom, for her recital on 21 February, and working with her as part of the education programme.
