The Academy of Music and Drama is organising a Composition Competition open to all students of the Academy. It is a unique opportunity to have your work performed in two concerts by a large orchestra, consisting of both a big band and a symphony orchestra. Vince Mendoza, one of the leading composers for this type of ensemble, will lead the project.
"New World/Old World" from an artistic perspective of the composed piece. It is up to you, the composer, to choose your own personal interpretation of the theme.
Deadline: 1 March 2024
Assessment: A jury of Academy of Music and Drama faculty will judge the submitted composition sketches and select five for finalisation and performance at the concerts.
The five selected works will be supervised by both Vince Mendoza and the Academy of Music and Drama faculty.
Further details on how to submit material will be available later in January.
During week 4, Joel Eriksson will give a lecture on the requirements and what methods you can use for the competition. You will get more information on how to work with sketches and scores.
Rehearsals take place in week 46, 2024.
