The Ivors Academy?tonight [15 November] revealed the winners of 12 Ivor Novello Awards at the 20th?edition ofThe Ivors Composer Awards,?celebrating the best new music in classical, jazz and sound art. The winners were announced during a ceremony hosted by?BBC Radio 3’s Hannah Peel?and?Tom Service?at the?British Museum.
Three exceptional composers, Sir George Benjamin, Judith Weir and Talvin Singh, were recognised with special Ivor Novello Awards for their innovation, influence and legacy.
The Award for Innovation was presented to?Talvin Singh. A virtuoso tabla player and percussionist, producer and composer, Talvin Singh is a unique, original and deeply influential creative force.?The Asian Underground’s distinctive mix of Western and Indian beats influenced musicians from Britney Spears to Jay-Z and Missy Elliott, to say nothing of raising the visibility of British-Indian artists.
