The Quietus | News | Oram Awards To Celebrate Female Musicians
PRS Foundation and The New BBC Radiophonic Workshop have teamed up to launch the Oram Awards, which will celebrate the work of female musicians operating in music, sound and other related technologies.
Named after Daphne Oram, one of the founders of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, the awards ceremony will take place on June 3 at the Turner Contemporary Margate.
“[Oram] played a vital role in establishing women at the forefront of innovation, in newly emerging audio technologies, in the UK and around the world,” says a press release announcing the awards. “Fast forward to 2017 and whilst there are many women innovating in music and sound, their work and their voices often struggle to be heard and we’re missing the opportunity to celebrate role models for the next generation.”
