Our two new Opus composition schemes have just launched. Opus 1 and Magnum Opus are development opportunities to help UK-based composers take the next step on their composing journey. The selected composers for both schemes will work closely with programme directors Joe Cutler and Dobrinka Tabakova, Britten Sinfonia musicians, and the wider Britten Sinfonia team to create new works for chamber ensemble for recording and performance, and develop their skills as composers and creatives in a holistic way. Both schemes are open to applications from composers of any age and training.
Opus 1 is a talent development opportunity intended as a potential ‘first step on the ladder’ for aspiring composers who have not recently been selected for other composition schemes, and from which they will gain workshop experience and a high quality recording of their work. Eight composers will be selected for this opportunity.
Magnum Opus is a new professional development opportunity for three outstanding early career composers, who will be embedded in our activity across a season of Britten Sinfonia’s work.
To find out more about both schemes and to register for an application form, visit brittensinfonia.com/creative-learning/opus/ or email learning@brittensinfonia.com
