Cornwall-based composer Freddie Hodkin (MA BMus) has been awarded a Dischma Trust award for Excellence in the Arts, Martin Read Foundation Young Composers’ Award 2015 (where he is now a trustee and social media manager), Hampshire Music Service Composition Award, and SHG Mediation Services Award for Excellence in the Arts.

​

Performances of his work include Borough New Music in London, Cardiff University Brass Band, Cardiff Contemporary Music Festival, Cardiff University School of Music Composition Showcases, Martin Read Festivals and Chelmsford City Theatre Lunchtime Concert Series. He has received commissions from Farnham Brass Band and had pieces workshopped by several professional artists.

​​

His music demonstrates a fine balance between sonorous detail and imaginative treatment of material, a colourful yet accessible harmonic language, and the assimilation of eclectic interests into coherent and highly organised structures. Please see the Soundcloud link at the top of the page for examples.

​

As well as his composition work, Freddie is a trustee and social media manager for the Martin Read Foundation, a charity that supports young composers and promotes new music, as well as Session Coordinator for the St Austell branch of the Forget Me Not Chorus, a charity that runs singing groups for those living with dementia and their carers.
