Viner wins the STR Music Composition Prize at York with new work 'The Annunciation'

UYMP is delighted that Frederick Viner has won the University of York Music Department's STR Music Composition Prize, with his new piece The Annunciation for SATB divisi.  The prize is sponsored by Sean Rourke.  The Annunciation, the only work to be announced in an otherwise 'mystery' concert programme, was premiered by The 24, directed by Robert Hollingworth, in the Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall on February 19th 2020, at 7.30pm.  Besides Viner's premiere, the carefully-planned programme spanned some fascinating works from the 16th to the 20th centuries.  More details at York Concerts.  Many congratulations to Fred!
