Writing the Future

 Writing the Future
Summary:Collaboration opportunity
Deadline: 26 May 2017
Date Posted: 26 April 2017
Details: The London Sinfonietta is pleased to announce the next round of Writing the Future, an open-call programme that supports the careers of composers and music creators through the process of making new work with the ensemble.

This new Writing the Future programme lasts for approximately two years, allowing for longer and innovative new works to be made and performed. Previous Writing the Future composers have gone on to release music on labels such as NMC, have had their music performed in the London Sinfonietta’s season and received further commissions from the ensemble.

Those selected to be part of the programme will be offered:

• At least one chamber commission to be performed by the London Sinfonietta in a future main season event.
• A close working relationship with members of the ensemble to develop ideas.
• An introduction to music industry professionals who can advise on different aspects of career development.
• Opportunities to work on different aspects of the ensemble’s programme – including digital projects, schools and community work and the London Sinfonietta Academy.
• Open access to visit London Sinfonietta rehearsals and concerts.
• Opportunities for coaching and mentoring from world-leading composers and conductors as part of the London Sinfonietta’s season, and in partnership with the Southbank Centre where the ensemble is a Resident Orchestra.

The London Sinfonietta is at the forefront of developing new music, and we are seeking to include composers and music creators from different social, cultural and musical backgrounds. We are keen to work with artists who will bring new ideas to the ensemble, and explore with us innovative approaches.
