David Flynn

His prize was a commission to elaborate ‘Slip’ into his String Quartet No.2 "The Cranning" for the 2005 festival where it was premiered by the Smith Quartet to the acclaim of critics including Neil Fisher of The Times who praised Flynn for ‘incorporating traditional Irish music without Hollywood pastiche’.

Savaskan's music has been programmed widely by organisations and ensembles such as the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts, London) - in particular its fine 'MusICA' series run for many years by Adrian Jack, the BBC, Lontano, the Balanescu Quartet, the Smith Quartet, the S.E.M. Ensemble of New York, and such conductors as Martyn Brabbins, Zsolt Nagy and Petr Kotik.
