What’s It Like Being A Black Female Millennial Composer At The BBC Proms?

Hannah Kendall: “I’m a millennial composer! I have to make money to survive financially in London. I realised early on you need a range of skills for that. As a composer it’s incredibly helpful for me to understand press and marketing and fundraising, as I’m likely to have to do it for myself. It’s not so easy juggling working in an office with teaching composition at the Junior Royal Academy of Music and then trying to write your own stuff.”
