The Squad writers taking part are Andrew Owen Cook, Elizabeth Lomas, Gregory Kearns, Hannah Sowerby, James Varney and Katie Byford – The RNCM composers are Athanasia Kontou, Charlotte Marlow, Jingyu Chen, Lucy Hale, Robert Smith and William Hearne.
Their work will be performed by RNCM sopranos Helen Te and Dasha Papysheva, baritone Patrick Relph and pianist Brian Low, all of whom have been involved and invaluable in the workshops.
