Local Boy Done Good

Congratulations to young Chets composer Jonathan Woolgar.  The seventeen year old took part in February's Manchester Composers' Workshop weekend, and his piece Asesinato en la Danza showcased by Manchester Camerata on the 13 March 2010 at The Bridgewater Hall. Jonathan entered the BBC Young Composers' Competition 2010 with an original five-minute piece written for clarinet, violin and piano. His winning composition will now be performed during the BBC Proms season and broadcast on BBC Radio 3. But his big prize is a commission for the BBC which could even be performed at the Last Night of the Proms. Read all about it here.
