Symphony for Cornwall is a new work by Andrew Hugill, commissioned by Orchestral Development Devon & Cornwall and funded by the Arts Council of England's 'New Audiences Programme' for the Bournemouth Sinfonietta with live electronics, to be premiered in the Hall for Cornwall, Truro, on May 27th 1999.

Andrew Hugill has invited schools across Cornwall to send him short sound-bites of their own creation. These will form the basis for the Symphony. Using new technologies, he will transform and develop these prime sounds into musical material from which the Symphony will be made.

This website is designed to monitor that process. Just follow the links to go to whatever interests you.
