Overview

Genre boundaries melt away whenever Alex Paxton composes. Complex, sophisticated, effervescent and entertaining are among the words used to describe his music. He holds the Wigmore Hall Voices of Today spotlight with a bold new work for Ensemble Modern, programmed alongside other coruscating contemporary scores.

Supported by The Radcliffe Trust
