The Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra’s Christopher Brooks Composition is now open for submissions with a £1,000 prize up for grabs.
Now in its third year, the prize offers a young composer the chance to write a new work for an ensemble from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra for performance in autumn 2018.
The winner will be supported with an individual programme of workshops, masterclasses and mentoring sessions from composers, performers, conductors and other industry professionals associated with Liverpool Philharmonic.
Previous prize winners have written new work for Ensemble 10/10 (Liverpool Philharmonic’s new music ensemble) and Liverpool Philharmonic Youth Choir, met with international composers, artists and conductors, attended orchestra rehearsals and masterclasses and have had hands-on experience of orchestra management, recording production, librarianship and education work.
The competition is open to composers aged 18-30 on 1 October 2017, live, work, study or have been born in the north-west of England and not be represented by a publisher (self-published composers will be eligible).
