Enid Luff’s first musical training was as a pianist. Studies in Modern Languages at Cambridge broadened her involvement in languages and literature, particularly the reading and translation of poetry. She then returned to music, continuing her piano studies to concert standard 1960’s, when she came to know and love the music of the twentieth century. Involvement in the music of our own day, pointed the way to further academic studies and her continuing participation in the contemporary scene as a composer. A Welsh Arts Council Bursary enabled her to study with Elizabeth Lutyens and Franco Donatoni. Her work has been widely played, and heard in Festivals here and abroad, including the Women in Music Festival in Holland and the Music New Year Festival in Denmark. Commissions include the Piano Sonata Storm Tide, commissioned by Peter Lawson, and broadcast on Radio 3, and The Glass Wall, for Solo Cello, Three Dancers, and electronic tape, commissioned by the Feeney Trust. Enid Luff lived and worked for many years in London, and more recently in Birmingham, where she taught part-time at the Birmingham University School of Continuing Studies. She now lives in Cardiff, publishes her own work, jointly with composer Julia Usher, through the self-publishing company Primavera. More
