When Susanna Eastburn left her job with music publisher Chester Novello after eight years, to move to Huddersfield, she wondered if she would ever get the chance to work again with the composers she met through the company and in her travels abroad.
Although Eastburn moved to the northern town jobless, life fell into place in that uncanny way it does, and she soon found herself drawing on years of knowledge and contacts, after landing the job of Artistic Director of the Huddersfield Contemporary Music festival in April 2001.
