Composure

Two young composers have been getting their heads round the task in hand. They have just been given the opportunity to write new works to be played by Manchester Camerata as part of the new concert series this Autumn. Nina Whiteman and Gavin Higgins need to create a new work - duration 7 minutes or so - by August. The opportunity is part of a scheme run in conjunction with Sound and Music, and is aimed at giving composers at a formative time in their careers the chance to play with a top flight orchestra. Watch the blog for their thoughts as performance day looms. Read more about the scheme in our news section, and there's a podcast too.
