Women in Music UK Blog

Women in Music is pleased to share this opportunity for composers.

As the next step in JAM’s Masterclass series, click here to submit 50-bar sketches for Organ or Brass Quintet by Tuesday 1^st June.  This could be something you’re working on and/or nearly finished – it doesn’t have to be started from scratch.

JAM is encouraging sketches written for diverse genres including concert, church and jazz.  Also, a solo trumpet or brass duet is as valid as a piece for quintet.

3 Organ and 3 Brass sketches will be selected to be workshopped at the JAM on the Marsh festival on 13^th July with Francesca Massey (Rochester Cathedral) and Onyx Brass, led by Professor Paul Mealor.

Then, these 6 pieces need to be finished for performance by Francesca Massey and Onyx Brass in London this autumn.

One composer will be awarded a £500 JAM commission for premiere in March in London.

JAM looks forward to receiving your submission(s).
