The Oram Awards 2022

Free event
Advance booking required

hcmf// is proud to be hosting The Oram Awards 2022.

Named after Daphne Oram, one of the founding members of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, The Oram Awards celebrate the next generation of forward-thinking women, trans and non-binary artists for their innovative work in music, sound, and related technologies.

Daphne Oram played a vital role in establishing women at the forefront of innovation in newly emerging audio technologies, not only in the UK, but around the world; the awards build on her legacy by recognising innovation in sound, music and related technologies and elevating the work and voices of women and gender minority music creators in electronic music.

At this celebration event, the winning artists will be presented with their awards by Elizabeth Alker (BBC Radio 3), with each receiving a talent bursary prize, mentorship support and the opportunity to join a growing network of women, trans and non-binary artists – pushing forward the boundaries of music, sound and technology.

hcmf// is pleased to announce the names of The Oram Award 2022 winning artists:

International Category (In partnership with the British Council)

Rani Jambak (Indonesia) // FRKTL – Sarah Badr (Egypt)

UK Category (In partnership with the PRS Foundation)

Ella Kay // Amble Skuse // Lula.xyz // Kelly Jayne Jones // Amy Cutler // Lia Mazzari

The Awards presentation will be followed by a number of short performances, including from Lisa Stenberg, a composer from Luleå in the north of Sweden, based in Stockholm. Interested in perception and initiating intensified listening situations, her work is often site-specific and her music oscillates in the realm of instrumental and electroacoustic.

Alongside The Oram Awards ceremony, we are presenting a full day’s programme that includes a workshop, panel discussion, film screening and performances.
