Nonclassical appoints 6 new trustees

Following the retirement of several long-serving trustees, and as a result of an extensive open recruitment process we’re today announcing the appointment of six new members of the Nonclassical Board, bringing with them a wealth of knowledge spanning governance, fundraising, artistic planning, the recording industry and experience as artists, conductors and composers.

They are composer and conductor Aaron Holloway Naum, composer, producer and academic. Toby Young, fundraising professional Marianne Wright, composer, percussionist and educator Dominic Murcott, product leader and soprano Julia Sinclair and creative music industry professional Nikki Camilleri. Short biographies of each are available below.

They will take up their positions over the coming 6 months, joining existing trustees Nick Rampley, Aileen Douthwaite, Karen Lee and Chair William Norris. 

At the same time Nonclassical is shortly to start recruiting for the position of treasurer - details will be available after Christmas and we are particularly encouraging applications from under-represented backgrounds within the arts for this position.

We’d like to say a huge thank you both to the successful applicants, who we’re very excited to be welcoming, but also to the many who responded to our open call - we were really thrilled at the response and extremely high calibre of applications received. We would also at this moment like to say a public thank you to those trustees who have recently stepped down after many years of valuable contribution to the organisation: Rune Bech, Clifton Harrison, Brian Inglis, John Richards and Yung-Yee Chen X.

Marianne Wright is senior fundraiser at Royal Museums Greenwich. Her interest in charity governance grew through working with Arch Sinfonia, and she has held roles with the European Union Youth Orchestra and Street Orchestra Live.

Recording has been with Stereolab, Pavement, Cathal Coughlan and St Etienne to name a few. He received a PhD in Acoustic and Electronic Composition from Goldsmiths College before being made Head of Composition at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Now in his 23rd year in the post, the department is oversubscribed and renowned for its innovative approach to composition training and focus on community. An avid forager and cook, he presented a special event on taste in food and music at the British Library with legendary chef Heston Blumenthal in 2019.

Vari/ations: An Ode to Oram

vari/ations: an ode to oram

The pioneering electronic sounds of Daphne Oram reimagined by TAAHLIAH, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Marta Salogni, Arushi Jain and others using tapes from Oram's archive.

To mark the centenary of overlooked electronic pioneer Daphne Oram, Nonclassical - together with the Oram Trust and Oram Awards - have commissioned new music by a set of contemporary visionary minority-gender electronic artists celebrating the next generation of trailblazers.

This group of artists span early-career to high-profile DJs and musicians across diverse electronic worlds, representing a spectrum of distinct practises - from uncompromising club beats, performance art and sound art to ambient music and deconstructed future-forward Arabic dance music.

The artists have created these new works using samples from Oram's archive - housed at Goldsmiths, University of London - which features a mix of sound clips covering not only her innovative Oramics machine and other electronic music, but also match strikes, cat purrs, scraped objects and commercial jingles as well as recordings of Oram's own voice.

vari/ations: ode to oram is supported by arts council england, d’oyly carte foundation, samuel gardner memorial trust, the finzi trust and the marchus trust.
