Judith Weir. King’s College Cambridge. / July 2023

Judith Weir. One of my fifty portraits commissioned by King’s College Cambridge to mark the 50th anniversary of the admission of women into King’s as students. The portraits now form part of their permanent collection.

Judith Weir. The first woman to hold the post of Master of the Queen’s (or King’s) Music, Judith Weir is an acclaimed composer and musician, best known for her operas and theatrical works. In 2018, a specially written carol by Judith was sung at the 100th anniversary service of A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, and her composition ‘Brighter Visions Shine Afar’ was recently heard before the ceremony at the coronation of King Charles III.
