Young Composers Meeting 2020
26th Young Composers Meeting: February 23 - 28, 2020, Apeldoorn, The Netherlands
Young Composers Meeting is an intiative by orkest de ereprijs to give young professional composers a chance to compose for an ensemble and develop their talents, knowledge and professional network.
During a week in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands, 16 selected participants will come together to each compose a piece for orkest de ereprijs and singers. The week is filled with rehearsals, lectures and individual coaching by senior composers. This year Martijn Padding, Richard Ayres, Andrew Hamilton, Dyane Donck and Seung-Won Oh are the senior composers. Gerda van Zelm and Georgi Sztojanov are the vocal coaches for the singers. At the end of the week, all pieces will be performed during the final concert in Gigant Apeldoorn. After this, a jury of international senior composers will choose three participants with extraordinary talent to receive commissions.
Rob Vermeulen will conduct the orchestra during the Young Composers Meeting.
