WELCOME TO IVORS WEEK

Ivors Week returns for the third year to celebrate songwriting and songwriters.

Taking place between 15th and 19th May, with The Ivors with Amazon Music as its high point on the 18th, the week supports The Ivors Academy Trust to create new opportunities for emerging music makers.

AR Rahman, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jimmy Napes, Shaznay Lewis, Harmony Samuels, Wretch 32, DYO and Sam Tompkins are just some of the renowned music creators joining us throughout the week.

“Ivors Week is a huge celebration of songwriters and screen composers, supporting our Trust and their work to help music creators overcome the barriers they may face. Your craft, creativity and hard work deserve recognition. Ivors Week is all about championing what you do.
From charting fifty years of hip hop to our first Ivors Week conference, a fundraiser at the London Palladium and celebrating the highest achievements in songwriting and screen composition at The Ivors, I hope that there’s something for all, so please get involved.” Tom Gray, Chair of The Ivors Academy
