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
