Composer's work is dedicated to city

A CLASSICAL composition dedicated to Plymouth by a 25-year-old rising composer is to be performed for the first time in the city.

Breakwater, by Christopher Churcher, will be performed at the Musica Viva concert on Saturday, February 4, from 7pm at Levinsky Hall, the University of Plymouth. Christopher was the winner of The Arts Institute's under-25s composer competition.
