Hi everyone!

I’m just writing to tell you about the National Youth Orchestra’s Composers’ Course which is now open for applications. It’s a residential course that runs over the Christmas, Easter and Summer holidays of 2016 and gives you the opportunity to write pieces for the incredible young musicians in the National Youth Orchestra and to work with composers Anna Meredith and Larry Goves. I did this course myself in 2011 so I can confirm that it is brilliant!

More information is available here: http://www.nyo.org.uk/creative-hub and a link to the online application form is available here: http://www.nyo.org.uk/apply-for-nyo-2016

Good luck and if you have any questions about the application form or the course please email Rob at birminghamyoungcomposers@gmail.com with the subject NYO Composers’ Course.
