Durham University Brass Band Composition Competition
Durham University Brass Band is inviting entrants to its now annual composition competition. The event is a great opportunity for young composers to get into the competitive composition industry.
Commenting on the competition a spokesperson from Durham University Band stated, “We are offering the chance for the winning piece to be published (with royalties) and £100 prize money, alongside their piece being performed by Durham university brass band in concert in the next coming year.”
