Welcome to another #ComposerSpotlight thread! Today we're focusing on @joanna_mward who has spent lockdown in Newcastle baking, cycling and even going for a 4am dip in the North Sea during the solstice sunrise

Joanna joined the NMC family through our Next Wave scheme with @soundandmusic in 2018

Her piece 'to think at the sun' takes inspiration from the poem 'Transcription of Organ Music' by Allen Ginsberg

During lockdown Joanna has been keeping up with her composing mainly for her masters projects at @guildhallschool although she has been enjoying being more playful, including this collage that became a page in a graphic score for @mpknoop of @PlusMinusEns
