Development opportunity for Scotland-based composers
Deadline: 16 Jun 2023
We are offering five composers the opportunity to develop works of around 5 minutes for trumpet and guitar working alongside Mark O'Keeffe (trumpet) and Sasha Savaloni (guitar) from Red Note Ensemble with Karen Power as composer mentor.
The five successful candidates will be talented composers resident in Scotland. They can be at any stage in their career, however they should be able to demonstrate a number of years of compositional experience, and must be able to articulate their development needs and how the opportunity would benefit them.
Please note that we are committed to working with and supporting composers from under-represented groups. Female, trans, gender-diverse and ethnic minority composers as well as composers with a disability are encouraged to apply.
Financial support for the opportunity is limited to related expenses for travel/accommodation. There will also be a stipend of £200 per composer for a delivered piece to be performed at soundfestival.
Deadline for applications: Friday 16th June 2023
