Grace is pleased to have been selected for Psappha Ensemble’s ‘Composing For’ Scheme this year. She will work with North-West based harpist, Lauren Scott, to create a piece for solo harp to be filmed in May 2019.

In the year that the RPS Composition Prize for young composers turns 70, the Royal Philharmonic Society has commissioned new works for leading ensembles and festivals across the UK. Grace is honoured to have been awarded a commission to write a new chamber work to be premiered at the Cheltenham Music Festival in 2019.

Grace is very pleased to have been commissioned to write a new work for the London Symphony Orchestra's Community Choir, which consists of 120 mixed-ability singers who make up a diverse cross-section of the local community, to be premiered on Friday 16 November 2018 in a concert themed around remembrance.

In March 2018, the Manchester Renaissance Ensemble recorded their new EP 'Lux Et Tenebræ', which includes Mason's new piece, 'Tenebræ Factæ Sunt', and is now available on Spotify and to download.

Grace is pleased to have been shortlisted for the British Section of the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) World Music Days Festival 2018 in partnership with Sound and Music, for her orchestral work 'KINTSUKUROI: (Golden Repair)'.

Grace is delighted to be announced as the winner of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra's Christopher Brooks Composition Prize.
