Last updated 26th Nov 2021
The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation has launched a new nationwide competition with mezzo-soprano Laura Wright to inspire budding composers aged 12 to 18 years. DSWF is inviting composers to submit a piece of choral music inspired by the natural world for SATB (soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices).
The Breathing World competition offers composers the opportunity to channel creativity in response to the noise of environmental threats DSWF works hard to stop. The winner of Breathing World will get the opportunity to work with an expert team of musicians, including the world-renowned mezzo-soprano Laura Wright, to develop and finalise their piece before it is world-premiered and recorded live in London.
Entries for DSWF’s Breathing World youth music competition are free of charge and open to UK residents until 5pm on 30th September 2022.
Entries can be in audio and/or score format submitted digitally via an application form on the DSWF website. There is no cost to enter the competition.
