The Ivor Novello Award for Best Orchestral Composition in association with @doricoofficial goes to @gavhiggins 'Horn Concerto' 🏆
The judges described the piece as “a striking and memorable work that pushes the boundaries of traditional concertos, its originality and sophisticated orchestration create a compelling and beautifully crafted piece.”
