Philip & Dorothy Green Composer in Residence
This is a new opportunity for young composers at the beginning of their careers to enable them to be associated with Making Music for a period of a year to 18 months.  
The main objective is to enable a small number of young composers under the age of 30 to be provided with a residency to produce a work that can be performed by more than one amateur music group on several occasions at the end of the period of association. The project will also provide publicity for the composers at the start of their careers and launch them in the amateur sector with the backing of Making Music. In addition, advice and guidance will be provided where necessary and support in the business, marketing and ancillary requirements of being a self-employed composer.

The Composer in Residence programme is still in development and we hope to publicise details of how to apply for the programme in the near future.

Please contact Evan Dawson, Head of Support and Development, if you would like more information.
