Helen Caddick | Composer
Helen Caddick is a British composer passionate about bringing live music to new and diverse audiences.
Described as ‘powerful, evocative, modern and original’, audience members have spoken of how her music ‘transcends the ordinary into something magical with its ethereal, spiritual qualities’.
Taking inspiration from a host of ideas including the heroic women of Afghanistan to JMW Turner, across a striking and diverse range of genres her work has been performed at London’s South Bank, Turner Contemporary Margate as well as a range of more intimate spaces, featured on Channel 4, SkyArts, BBC 3’s Late Junction and Resonance FM.
“For this collaborative work, I wanted to compose a piece of music that acknowledged the astonishing and little known story of the women that wove the integrated circuits and memory cores on the Apollo 11 space mission that resulted in the successful 1969 moon landing.”
