Dance project with the London Consorts of Winds

 Dance project with the London Consorts of Winds
Summary:Composition Project
Deadline: 24 July 2016
Date Posted: 23 June 2016
Details: We are looking for 2 composers to join a project writing new pieces for wind consort and dance. The project starts in September 2016, leading to a performance in March or April 2017.

You will work with a student choreographer over this period, and write a piece for one of the ensembles in the London Consorts of Winds. The ensembles are a clarinet choir, a double wind quintet, and a wind nonet.

In September you will meet with the choreographer and the consort you are allocated to work with, and there will be further opportunities to meet in the autumn. Your piece will need to be complete by the end of 2016, and you will have further opportunities to try out ideas and drafts during that time.

The project will be mentored by a professional choreographer, Mari Frogner, and composers will pay £50 each to cover her fee.

Pieces may last up to 10 minutes.

Please send a short CV and a PDF of one recent score to:

alan.taylor@dpmail.co.uk

If there are too many applications, the composers to take part will be chosen by the conductors of the London Consorts of Winds ensembles.
