Lynne Plowman (b 1969) first found recognition as a composer in 1995 when Blue for symphony orchestra won the BBC National Orchestra of Wales Young Composers Competition. Since then, her work has been increasingly performed throughout the UK and further afield, and is regularly featured on BBC Radio. From 2000 to 2001, Plowman was the composer in residence for Wingfield Arts in Suffolk, where she composed an ambitious project inspired by the Anglo Saxon long-ship burial at Sutton Hoo: The Return of King Raedwald for Andrew Slater (bass-baritone) and the London Mozart Players. Plowman has recently completed The Stargazer, a new commission for the London Mozart Players for a premiere in October 2002 in Lincolnshire. This autumn sees a new work for flute and piano, commissioned by the Stratford English Music Festival, and a new ensemble work commissioned by Bromsgrove Concerts. As a flautist, Lynne Plowman draws from a wide repertoire, with a particular leaning towards contemporary music. She has played with PM Music Ensemble since 1992, and also works with the pianist, David Appleton. Plowman is strongly committed to leading music projects in schools, particularly working in collaboration with writers and theatre practitioners. In this capacity, she works for companies including Opera North, Welsh National Opera, Music Theatre Wales, California State University and the Cheltenham International Festival of Music, among others. She is also a part-time tutor of composition at the Welsh College of Music and Drama.
