INVITATION TO COMPOSERS 2009 – 2011

Project selected and funded by the European Union

The London Schubert Players invites composers of any age and nationality to write short works for specific

chamber music combinations which do not exist or are very rare in the standard classical music repertoire.

Any number of inspiring and well written works to enhance this repertoire will be selected by the LSP with

the following aims:

To perform them in concerts in 2010 and 2011 in Britain, France and Romania

To record them on CD

To publish the works

To publish a book about the composers

To perform and discuss them in international workshops, seminars and forums

The 2009 Constantin Silvestri Composition Prize has been awarded to

Clouds. Homage to Messiaen by Salvador Torre (Mexico)

The 2010 Constantin Silvestri Composition Prize will be awarded to a selected work

written for 12 Solo Instruments

COMPOSITION GUIDELINES
