Applications for Young Composers 2017 are now open!

Following four very successful years, the National Youth Orchestra of Wales will once again run a composers programme as part of this summer’s NYOW residency. Successful applicants will receive tuition in compositional techniques, instrumental writing and analysis of existing repertoire, all delivered by Mark Bowden (former Composer in Residence with BBC NOW).

In addition, composers will have the opportunity to write new music for groups of musicians drawn from within the ranks of the NYOW itself. You will be able to work with some of Wales’ foremost young musicians to develop and rehearse your music before presenting it in three stand-alone performances.

Are you a budding composer aged 13-21? Apply now for a first class experience!
