Composers invited to submit works for the RNCM John Golland Award 2022
Composers aged 18 – 30 are invited to submit new, or previously unperformed, works for small brass ensemble for public performance on the morning of Sunday 30 January 2022, as part of the RNCM Brass Band Festival.
The work should be written for an ensemble of between four and six players, based on the standard brass band quartet. Submissions should be a maximum of eight minutes in duration, and up to four will be selected for the final, depending on length and complexity. The works will be performed by students from the RNCM. Following the performances, a jury comprising Dr Martin Ellerby, Dr Lucy Pankhurst and chaired by the festival’s Artistic Director Paul Hindmarsh, will select one composer as the recipient of the fifth John Golland Award. This will take the form of a £500 sum and an invitation to write a short work for brass band to be performed at a future Festival.
The Award is funded from the estate of Manchester born composer John Golland, and was instituted by the John Golland Trust to encourage young composers to write for the brass band medium which meant so much to him.
The closing date is Tuesday 30 November 2021 with competition regulations and further information on how to enter available at: https://www.rncm.ac.uk/news/john-golland-award-call-for-works/
