 OPUS2015 commissioning scheme
Summary:Chamber Call for Scores
Deadline: 17 October 2014
Date Posted: 18 September 2014
Details: OPUS2013 winner Ryan Latimer, whose OPUS commission Divertimento, was premiered by Britten Sinfonia in April 2014, comments: "Winning the OPUS2013 competition was an enormous privilege. It provided me with the opportunity to explore and develop my own compositional voice, and a welcome chance to work closely with the talented, sensitive and encouraging musicians of Britten Sinfonia, who offered invaluable support throughout the process.”

As for last year’s competition, we are issuing an open call for submissions for the ensemble in November 2015 with a submission deadline of 17th October 2014.

The chosen composer will receive:

- A dedicated rehearsal for the commissioned piece 6-8 weeks in advance of the concert, allowing the composer to make final improvements in response to the feedback of the players.

- At least three performances of their work (at London’s Wigmore Hall, West Road Concert Hall in Cambridge and Norwich Assembly House).

- A broadcast on BBC Radio 3

- A commission fee
