Faber Music Signs Jessica Curry

Faber Music announces the signing of an exclusive publishing agreement with the BAFTA-winning composer Jessica Curry.

Best-known for her choral music and for her music for computer games, Jessica is also co-founder of the renowned game development company, The Chinese Room. The Washington Post has described Jessica's music as 'stupendous' and it has been performed in major venues across the world including The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Sydney Opera House, The Barbican, MOMI New York and the Sage Gateshead. It is often staged in unusual spaces too, most notably when her Perpetual Light: Requiem for an Unscorched Earth launched in London's Old Vic Tunnels. 

Perpetual Light fuses live choir, film and installation to create a unique and profoundly moving experience that remembers those who lost their lives in the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  The Requiem is also a testament to humankind’s extraordinary will to survive. It is this celebration of hope that has earned the concert the endorsement of UNESCO, the United Nations body dedicated to fostering international peace and understanding. 

Jessica's music receives extensive airplay on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM, where she is also a presenter, hosting 'High Score', a Saturday night show about video game music. The show has had an astounding response. It is the most listened to show on Classic FM's catch-up service and has helped boost listenership among people under the age of 35 by 30% according to recent RAJAR figures.


In March 2016 Jessica was awarded a place on British Council's FAMLAB (Film, Archive and Music Lab week), in conjunction with PRS for Music Foundation, HOME and BFI, the British Council. In 2016 she was named as one of Gamesindustry.biz's People of the Year and has recently been named one of the Top 30 Women in Games by MCV. She was also a finalist in the 2017 Women in Games awards in the Creative Impact category, and a finalist in the Hospital Club awards in the Games and Creative Industry categories. In 2016 she won the coveted MOSMA award at the Malaga Film Festival.

So Let Us Melt, a new game featuring Jessica's original choral soundtrack in performance by London Voices, was released this September.
