Three In A Bar

128. Roxanna Panufnik - Composing by Royal appointment, building bridges between faiths through music and creating an outstanding body of work.


Listen Later

In the second of our Ivors classical awards special episodes we chat to world renowned and celebrated composer Roxanna Panufnik.


As we air this interview, Roxanna has just been presented with the Ivors special award for ‘outstanding works collection’…And outstanding it truly is! She is particularly recognized for her choral works, including Faithful Journey - A Mass for Poland, Four Choral Seasons, and Coronation Sanctus for the coronation of King Charles the Third.


Roxanna has a great passion for world music and her Four World Seasons was written for violinist Tasmin Little - who also happened to present her with her award this week.


Roxanna has done much groundbreaking work in writing music that builds bridges between faiths. Her violin concerto Abraham incorporates Christian, Islamic and Jewish chant.


We chatted to Roxanna about collecting her first Ivor (unbelievably!), composing for the King, the emotions of reworking some of her father‘s Polish folk songs, and the sensitivity required in composing interfaith music.


Roxanna also talks about how she accidentally discovered Catholicism and gives us an insight into her compositional process.


We are hugely grateful to Roxanna for sparing some time on an extremely busy week and for being such a joyous guest!
