New Music - Composers to Get Excited About in 2023

It’s time to celebrate some exciting emerging composers making waves in the UK.

At DEBUT, we love looking to the future of classical music and celebrating the brilliance of the musicians around us. Over the last year I have been stunned by some of the new music I have seen coming out of the UK’s composition scene. As a bass clarinettist I’ve learnt to think creatively about the music I play and the collaborations I make, and along the way I’ve had the immense pleasure of working with some ground-breaking emerging composers. If you’re excited about new music (or are just beginning to discover this world), take a look at four of our favourites for 2023!
