ARE YOU A COMPOSER LOOKING TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR CAREER?

WE’RE LOOKING FOR FOUR UK-BASED COMPOSERS WHO DISPLAY EXCEPTIONAL ABILITY AND POTENTIAL TO JOIN NONCLASSICAL’S AIR (ARTIST IN RESIDENCE) IN 2024/25. THIS PROGRAMME IS SUPPORTED BY THE JERWOOD DEVELOPING ARTISTS FUND, PRS FOUNDATION’S OPEN FUND AND VAUGHAN WILLIAMS FOUNDATION.

Nonclassical’s AiR supports the artistic development of unsigned and unpublished early-career composers, who are creating exciting new contemporary classical, electronic and experimental music.

The scheme has been developed to give four early-career artists a 360-degree view of what it takes to be a composer in today’s musical landscape. One of the four artists will be supported to gain notation skills, and therefore artists with no experience with notated work and/or classical training are encouraged to apply.

Previous Associate Composers have since received commissions from Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (hcmf//), BalletBoyz, LA Philharmonic, London Philharmonic Orchestra and Philharmonia Orchestra; as well as being Royal Philharmonic Society prize winners, received fellowships and residencies at Tanglewood Music Center and Snape Maltings, and been part of the LPO Young Composers Scheme.
