Young Composer Premieres

Young composers (up to the age of 30) are invited to submit new or previously unperformed works for the RNCM’s forthcoming Festival of Brass, 26 – 28 January 2007. Selected works will be performed in a concert première given by the RNCM Brass Band during the festival and should be a maximum of 8 minutes duration.

 

The closing date for entries is Monday 6 November 2006. Short-list closed rehearsals will then take place on 13/14 December 2006 and the Young Composer Premieres will take place on Saturday 27 January 2007.

 

The Royal Northern College of Music’s Festival of Brass provides a unique opportunity for world-renowned brass bands to perform the finest and most original brass compositions from the past 100 years.

 

The 2007 Festival, which celebrates the 150th birthday of Elgar, will also feature the music of Robert Simpson and a number of contemporary composers performed by the leading brass bands in the land, including Black Dyke, Foden’s Richardson, BAYV (Cory) and Brighouse & Rastrick.
