Shortlisted compositions will be played by the professional players at the lunchtime concert in St Greg’s on Monday 29th October. On the day there will be a rehearsal/workshop from 10am-12pm to prepare. Selected composers must be available to attend both the rehearsal and the concert. The prize will be presented at the end of the concert by Rosie Turner, Director of the Canterbury Festival.
