Lydia Kakabadse (born 1955) is a British composer of vocal, choral and chamber music.[1] Her musical style is tonal and modal with influences from chant and early polyphony, Orthodox liturgical music and other non-western music.[2][3] It also incorporates the Arabic scale with traditional Western harmonies.[4]
Her choral piece Odyssey was commissioned by the Hellenic Institute of Royal Holloway, University of London.[5][6] In 2015 she was commissioned to write a choral piece, I Remember[3] by her old school, Forest Preparatory School in Altrincham, for performance at an inter-school music event.[7] Two short pieces were performed at the Three Choirs Festival in Gloucester Cathedral in 2019,[8] and her chamber work Concertato was performed at the Chatsworth Arts Festival later the same year.[9] Her chamber work Russian Tableaux was broadcast by BBC Radio 3 to mark International Women's Day in 2015 and 2017.[10]
