Enjoy an evening of trailblazing music as the Daryl Runswick Prize for Composers reaches its thrilling crescendo. 

The competition is open to composers from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. This year, the works take inspiration from the Queen’s House.  

For more than 400 years, the Queen’s House has been a home for artistic innovation, showcasing the leading creatives of the age. This event celebrates the building's pioneering spirit, taking place in the magnificent setting of the Great Hall.

The Trinity Laban Contemporary Music Group will perform all the works in the running, with the coveted prize awarded at the end.
