Enid Luff

Enid Luff's first musical training was as a pianist. Studies in Modern Languages at Cambridge broadened her involvement in languages and literature, particularly the reading and translation of poetry.

Involvement in the music of our own day pointed the way to further academic studies (M Mus, Wales, 1974) and her continuing participation in the contemporary scene as a composer. Having lived and worked for many years in London, and subsequently Birmingham (where she taught part-time at Birmingham University's School of Continuing Studies), she now lives in Cardiff. She has written in a variety of genres, including solo and chamber music and pieces with dancers, mime and visuals, and her music has been heard in the UK and abroad.

Enid was Composer of the Month at the Wales Millennium Centre in 2005, and was featured at the Lower Machen Festival in that year.   Enid was instrumental in founding Cyfansoddwyr Cymru/Composers of Wales in 2000, and continued as its organizer until 2007.

A CD of Enid's music will shortly be released by Ty Cerdd (Music Centre Wales).
