World premiere from Howard Goodall

Our award-winning composer in residence Howard Goodall has premiered a brand new piece of music called More Tomorrows, inspired by the work of Cancer Research UK.

Since January, Howard has travelled the country to meet and hear the incredible stories of scientists, supporters, volunteers and cancer survivors, and has used inspiration from their personal and emotive stories to write his new composition. The piece celebrates the power that research holds to one day beat cancer — and create more tomorrows for more people.

More Tomorrows had its triumphant world premiere at the Royal Albert Hall as part of Classic FM Live. Prior to the performance Howard said: "It is quite scary because you don't know what anyone's reaction is going to be. On this occasion, I'm conducting the piece so I've got something to do with my energy, but for a composer, it can often be a difficult and tense time."
