Irene Electric

Alwynne Pritchard is a British artist, performer and composer, based in Bergen. She studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London and has a PhD from the University of Bristol. Her compositions and performances have been heard across Europe, America and Indonesia and she has worked with leading musicians and ensembles across the globe. From 2008 and until March 2014, Alwynne was Artistic Director of the Borealis festival in Bergen, Norway and from 2001 until 2008, she taught composition at Trinity College of Music in London. Alwynne also worked for many years as a freelance writer and presenter for BBC Radio 3. 

Her music has been described by critics as ’playful, touching and mystical’, (Asane Tidende) ’energetic and provocative’ (The Wire) and her vocal performances have been described as 'between that of a rock-music diva and a verbal and physical contortionist" (All About Jazz, New York). 

Alwynne Pritchard’s music is published by Verlag Neue Musik.
