About Young Composers Meeting
The annual YCM is an initiative of Orkest De Ereprijs. Fourteen young professional composers aged 30 and under are given the opportunity to work on their own compositions, thereby developing their talents, expanding their knowledge, and building their network.
During this week, the participants rehearse the work they have been working on for the YCM. They are supervised by experienced composers and attend lectures and individual lessons. The intensive week concludes with a concert. The most promising participants, as judged by an independent jury of leading composers, are awarded a paid composition commission as encouragement. The compositions will be performed by Orkest De Ereprijs and singers in training at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague during the Closing Concert at Theater Gigant in Apeldoorn.
The 32nd edition will take place from March 1-6, 2025.
