Deborah Pritchard

Her work received early attention following the inclusion of her piece Chanctonbury Ring on the album "The Hoxton Thirteen", released by NMC Recordings in 2001.

When I engage with colour, light and darkness in my work, I become aware of a broader emotional content and hope to illuminate some kind of beauty to the listener.

In 2020 she was commissioned a graphic score Colour Circle by the London Sinfonietta to launch their Postcard Pieces project over lockdown, inspired by Wassily Kandinsky's book Concerning the Spiritual in Art.

Pritchard has written several pieces inspired by Marc Chagall including Radiance for solo cello responding to The Peace Window at the United Nations premiered by Natalie Clein at the Purbeck International Chamber Music Festival in 2022, and Chagall's Light for solo violin and orchestra, written after the series of windows at All Saints Church, Tudeley, premiered by Greta Mutlu and Chamber Domaine at the 2023 Music@Malling Festival in Kent.
