Georgia Denham (b.1997) draws on a love of visual arts, anecdotal experience and reimagined transcription to create her music. She studied with Andrew Hamilton and Fumiko Miyachi at The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, where she was awarded the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Undergraduate Prize. She has written music for Philip Thomas, Mira Benjamin, Decibel, the New European Ensemble, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group and Orkest de Ereprijs. In 2020, her piece for violin and piano, kindly, softly, was nominated for an Ivor Composer Award in the Solo or Duo category. As one of Sound and Music’s New Voices for 2020, Georgia has been given the opportunity to develop her music through tailored support and guidance.

Her music has been featured in festivals and concert series such as Music We’d Like to Hear and Leeds Lieder Festival.
