One of Britain’s most successful composers, Mark-Anthony Turnage has achieved international stature and is commissioned and performed throughout the world. The Irene Taylor Trust ‘Music in Prisons’ is an established charity which believes in music as a powerful vehicle for change. The charity has been delivering its creative workshops in prisons since 1995. Through New Music 20×12, Music in Prisons will work in partnership with Turnage and some new composers, comprising a group of adult male prisoners. Together, they will write, orchestrate and record an exciting piece of music in celebration of Britain and its culture, employing the individual musical and cultural influences of all participants. The 2012 Olympic Games will instil a feeling of unity within the UK. In enabling prisoners to contribute positively to these events, New Music 20×12 will not only be raising their aspirations, but encouraging a sense of society in them too.
