Ninfea Cruttwell-Reade is a British composer and cellist holding a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at Durham University's Department of Music. Her work bridges Western classical traditions and North Indian classical music through innovative chamber compositions, including three raag-focused works mixing Western and North Indian instruments. She serves as the Presteigne Festival’s 'Evolve' composer (2020–2025) and is a Royal Philharmonic Society Featured Composer. Her educational background spans degrees from the University of Oxford and the Royal Academy of Music, culminating in a PhD in Music Composition from Princeton University. This foundation informs her scholarly approach to composition and cross-cultural dialogue. Cruttwell-Reade's research centers on contemporary composition with emphases on cross-cultural fusion (particularly raag-based Indian traditions), unconventional instrumentation (e.g., flower pots in piano works), and literary adaptations of texts by Aubrey Beardsley, Saki, and Don Paterson. Her practice integrates performance, instrument study (including ongoing sitar training), and media production, as evidenced by filmed commissions for BBC Radio 3. She actively explores intersections between acoustic experimentation, narrative structures, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Her compositional trajectory reveals increasing complexity in cross-cultural dialogues, evolving from percussion-focused works like 'Hatters' (2015) to sitar-integrated chamber music ('Patdeep Studies', 2021) and experimental piano techniques ('Three études', 2019). Recent projects extend into choral settings, radio play adaptations, and large-scale orchestral works, demonstrating versatility across vocal, chamber, and orchestral domains while maintaining thematic continuity in literary and cultural synthesis. Key accolades include the Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship supporting her Durham University research, the PRS Foundation’s Composers’ Fund enabling sitar acquisition and training, the Tanglewood Music Center composition fellowship (2017), and the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize.
