The Villiers Quartet |
The new works competition run by the Villiers Quartet attracted some 114 entries from composers across 34 countries. The quartet reduced the list to six, and a public vote online came up with the three finalists. These three works will be played by the Villiers Quartet in a public recital in the Jacqueline Du Pre Music Building, Oxford University on 27 May 2016 at 7pm, and the audience will vote for a winner. The three finalists are:
- Fantasy by Andrew Guo (USA), a 17 year-old young man from Chicago, Illinois
- String Quartet No. 1 'from an exhibition of Australian woodcuts' by Ian Munro (Australia), an established composer and member of the Australia Ensemble
- Planctus by Kristina Wolfe (USA/Denmark), sound artist, PhD candidate at Brown University
