Sound and Music is looking for two Yorkshire-based composers to work with music from the British Music Collection as part of a new project.
The composers will select scores from the Music for Young Players series. They will then use this music as starting points to work with children from two primary schools to create a realisation of these scores and make original, collaboratively composed companion pieces during the autumn of 2017.
The new pieces will be performed in a specially curated event during the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (HCMF) in November 2017.
Music for Young Players is a set of scores from the 1960s and 1970s set within in the British Music Collection.
Published by Universal Edition and intended for classroom use, these scores aim to encourage experimental approaches and connections to the new music of the time.
Alexandra Richardson, learning and participation officer at HCMF, said: 'We’re really looking forward to this exciting opportunity to work with pupils from local primary schools to make their own compositions, using the British Music Collection’s wealth of wonderful music as a springboard for creativity.
'We’re incredibly proud to be presenting the music they create at HCMF 2017, and to be working with Sound of Music and Duncan Chapman to inspire the next generation of music makers.'
Applications can be accessed here. All submissions need to be made by Thursday 25 May.
