New Music for Late Starters

Orchestra Seeks Composer No. 4 (2013-14)

Are you a composer looking for a string orchestra?
YLSS’s competition for new music is the fourth in a series of biennial competitions through which we seek to engage with emerging or established composers interested in creating a 10-15 minute piece of high musical quality.

The £500 prize will not make its winner rich, but offers an opportunity to work with an enthusiastic orchestra, including a workshop with award-winning composer Emily Howard.

Closing date 31 August 2013.  Details and application form here.
