Hackney Music Development Trust: Confucius Says
The jury members were impressed and inspired by the range, quality and musical vision of this year’s nominations. In particular, there was a real sense of projects being embedded within their community and of innovative, often artistically challenging planning. Confucius Says led by Hackney Music Development Trust clearly displayed these characteristics through a large scale programme culminating in a spectacular new opera. Artistically strong, educationally ambitious and culturally appropriate, Confucius Says was an inspirational achievement.
