--------------------------------------------
Ninfea Cruttwell-Reade is a British composer and cellist based in Edinburgh. Her most frequently programmed composition is Three études for piano and flower pots (2019), written for the Psappha Ensemble and filmed as part of their ‘Composing For’ scheme. Subsequent performances of the work have been given at Music in the Round (Sheffield), Kettle’s Yard (Cambridge), the Royal Festival Hall, LSO St Luke’s, and broadcast on BBC Radio 3. Her other compositions include a song cycle based on letters by the art nouveau illustrator Aubrey Beardsley, a work for chamber ensemble and narrator presenting satirical texts by the Edwardian writer Saki, and, most recently, a choral setting of a sonnet by the contemporary Scottish poet Don Paterson.

Ninfea holds a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship in the Department of Music at Durham University. Her work there will culminate in the production of three raag-focused chamber compositions mixing Western and North Indian instruments. An earlier composition, Patdeep Studies, was commissioned in 2021 by the Psappha Ensemble for performance by the sitarist Jasdeep Singh Degun. Preparation for the Psappha commission was supported by the PRS Foundation’s Composers’ Fund, enabling Ninfea to purchase a sitar and take lessons with Degun. She continues to study the instrument.

A recipient of a composition fellowship from the Tanglewood Music Center in 2017, Ninfea was subsequently commissioned to write Table Talk, a large ensemble brass work, for the Tanglewood Music Festival. Her percussion quartet Hatters (2015) was programmed at the festival the following year. Elsewhere in the United States her works have been played by artists including Sō Percussion, the Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra, the Escher and JACK Quartets, and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. In the United Kingdom Ninfea was awarded a Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize and has recently received commissions from the Psappha Ensemble, Dunedin Consort, Edinburgh Youth Orchestra, and the Gesualdo Six; her orchestral compositions have been played by the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Between 2019 and 2022 she was a composer-in-residence at Glyndebourne and she is the Presteigne Festival’s ‘Evolve’ composer for 2020–2025.

Trained in cello performance and the academic study of music, Ninfea holds degrees from the University of Oxford and the Royal Academy of Music, and a PhD in Music Composition from Princeton University. Her latest projects include a piano quintet (Wigmore Hall commission), an abridged adaptation of Dylan Thomas’s radio play Under Milk Wood (Presteigne Festival, Spitalfields Music and Nova Music Opera co-commission), and a piano concerto for soloist Clare Hammond and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales (BBC Radio 3 and Royal Philharmonic Society co-commission). She is currently a Royal Philharmonic Society Featured Composer.<ref>https://ninfeacruttwellreade.com/about/</ref>
