The London Sinfonietta has announce the next round of Writing the Future, an open-call programme to support the careers of composers and music creators through making new work with the ensemble.

This new Writing the Future initiative will last for approximately two years, allowing for longer and innovative new works to be made and performed.

Previous Writing the Future composers have gone on to release music on labels such as NMC, have had their music performed in the London Sinfonietta’s season and received further commissions from the ensemble.

This time chosen composers will have at least one chamber commission performed by the London Sinfonietta in a future main season event, enjoy 'open access' to the rehearsals and concerts and benefit from a close working relationship with members of the ensemble.

They will also receive coaching and mentoring opportunities, as well as getting the chance to work on the various aspects of the ensemble’s programme.

According to the London Sinfonietta, it is ‘seeking to include composers and music creators from different social, cultural and musical backgrounds. We are keen to work with artists who will bring new ideas to the ensemble, and explore with us innovative approaches’.

To apply, please visit the London Sinfonietta website to access an application form and submit by Friday 26 May.
