Following fashionable fads or conforming to the latest musical -ism has never troubled Roxanna Panufnik; rather, she has pursued her own creative path, whether writing for choir or in her substantial body of chamber music. She stands as the subject of a two-concert Composer Focus Day given by students from the Royal Northern College of Music, including new works and such Panufnik essentials as Heartfelt and Hora Bessarabia.

Roxanna Panufnik’s music has been aptly described by the Observer as ‘distinctive in voice, serious, bold and appealing’. The RNCM’s Composer Study Day shows how her work often arises in response to the emotional impression left by visual or verbal images, a strong personal experience or the transcendent power of timeless ritual.
