Colin Matthews

Composer

He has … brought musical architectronics to a personal pitch of mastery.

— Paul Driver, The Sunday Times

April Sunshine (2015). Voice & ensemble

April Sunshine was commissioned by the London Sinfonietta for Notes to the New Government. In May 2015, the weekend after the general election, the London Sinfonietta premiered 16 songs by composers considering the society they hope to see. The song reflects on the value of the arts, with words by writer Jackie Kay.
