Royal Birmingham Conservatoire's
YOUNG COMPOSERS PROJECT
Commissioned Composer 2020
|
I was thoroughly pleased to be Royal Birmingham Conservatoire's Young Composers Project 2019-2020 Commissioned Composer. Commissioned to write a hybrid acousmatic work with the instrumentation of string trio, sax improvising trumpet and saxophone, soprano singer and live electronics, the premier was scheduled for March 2020*.
During my time as Commissioned Composer I gave presentations about my work, spoken on a panel about Conservatoires and workshopped my new work in front of the students. I also had the pleasure of rehearsing her commissioned piece in front of Master of the Queen's Music, Judith Weir where she gave me positive feedback about my work. The Young Composers Project is an eight month course bringing young composers (aged 14-18) together one Sunday a month to compose in a conservatoire environment for professional tuition and 1:1 student mentors. *On hold due to COVID-19 |
