PHF Composers Award 2023

Awarded to Karine Polwart & Pippa Murphy

We’re delighted to be the first ever joint recipients of a PHF Composers Award. Our collaborative writing over the past seven years has pushed us beyond our separate genres and skillsets as makers, bringing a lot of curiosity and joy. But the challenges of the past few years have sidelined our joint creative practice in favour of pragmatic, solitary, brief-led work. The award is an unexpected gift of breath and time for us – time to explore, re-charge and be kind on our bodies too. We’re hugely grateful and excited.
