The Panufnik Composers Scheme offers six emerging composers each year the opportunity to write for a world-class symphony orchestra. Guided by renowned composers Colin Matthews and Christian Mason, with additional tailored support, the scheme enables composers to experiment with and develop their orchestral writing skills through creating a three-minute composition over twelve months. The resulting compositions are performed and discussed by the LSO and Principal Guest Conductor, François-Xavier Roth, in a public workshop rehearsal at the culmination of the scheme. Two of the compositions are then chosen to be developed further, before being premiered by the Orchestra in an LSO concert at the Barbican. Who is it for? The scheme welcomes applications from composers with a diverse range of musical approaches and backgrounds who are interested in writing for a full symphony orchestra, but have never had a work performed in concert by a professional orchestra before. How do I apply? Applications open on Monday 9 December 2019. To apply, applicants must complete an online application form and submit: 1. A CV 2. Two contrasting scores (ideally including one for larger ensemble) 3. Links to stream online audio of the two works (if available) 4. Answers to two questions, found in the application guidelines Applications close on Monday 6 January 2020, 4pm GMT. |
