Cobbett Medal for Joseph Horovitz

Cobbett Medal for Joseph Horovitz
The Worshipful Company of Musicians has awarded the Cobbett Medal to composer Joseph Horovitz. This award, to be presented on April 9, is given annually to “a distinguished musician in recognition of services to chamber music.”

Horovitz’s chamber works published by Novello include his Clarinet Sonatina , which has entered the repertoire world-wide. Two Novello works - String Quartet No 5 and Fantasia on a Theme of Couperin - feature on a recent CD, “Fantasia and Quartets”, played by the Carducci Quartet and their string ensemble. The Carducci Quartet will be performing String Quartet No. 5 on May 13 in the Hampstead and Highgate Festival and on June 18 in the Mananan International Festival, Isle of Man.
