Since 2001 my work has been awarded internationally (Finland, Bulgaria, Ireland, USA), played widely in Europe, Asia and the Americas, and broadcast in 10 countries. Commissions have come from Brazil, Germany, Italy, UK, Norway, Czech Republic, Austria etc.. 18 CDs have been released on four labels, with numerous reviews and articles in leading journals such as Gramophone and BBC Music.
Most encouragingly, some great musicians have spoken kindly of me - Henning Kraggerud, Sir Charles Mackerras, Jiří Bělohlávek, Lydia Artymiw, Raphael Wallfisch, Ondřej Vrabec to name but a few.
Living in rural Lincolnshire (UK), away from cultural centres and only intermittently meeting other musicians, this endorsement gives me confidence to face my compositional future with optimism. If I am also stylistically isolated, so be it... - I plough my own furrow...
"Ambitious, questing and pointedly European in outlook, the music of Peter Seabourne avoids easy answers. Clearly Seabourne is a composer with whom to reckon, his music combining a demonstrably Romantic rhetoric with an always audible and yet never facile approach to tonality." [Musical Opinion]
