As part of\u00a0Contemporary Music for All<\/a>\u2019s celebration weekend, the\u00a0Scottish Music Centre\u00a0will host\u00a0an open discussion for composers, promoters, performers and music leaders, which will address how we could work together to ensure that contemporary music continues to be commissioned, performed and integrated into music-making at every level.<\/p>\n

Sign up here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Guest speakers,\u00a0Alasdair Nicolson<\/a>\u00a0(composer and\u00a0Artistic Director of St Magnus International Festival)\u00a0and\u00a0Jennifer Martin<\/a>\u00a0(composer and Chief Executive of the\u00a0Hebrides Ensemble<\/a>),\u00a0will lead a discussion while sharing their experience of working with new music, as composers, educators, commissioners and programmers.<\/p>\n

The discussion will look to explore how we can increase access to the array of new music created in Scotland and ensure there is a mutual awareness of performance and commissioning opportunities, for amateur and professional musicians alike. We will also present\u00a0CoMA’s\u00a0Open Scores project<\/a>,\u00a0which is a nationwide initiative celebrating and promoting CoMA\u2019s vast library of new music commissioned especially for amateur ensembles.<\/p>\n

Attendees will be given the opportunity to discuss their own perspective on how the musical landscape is creating challenges for new music practitioners and how these issues could be addressed.<\/p>\n

This one-off event is the chance to voice your opinions in a UK-wide context. Come along and get your voice heard!<\/p>\n

This event will compliment\u00a0Hebrides Ensemble\u2019s \u2018Come and Play Contemporary Music\u2019 weekend for instrumental and vocal performers of all ages and stages. A final performance will be held immediately after this seminar showcasing music by Stephen Montague, Jonathan Harvey, Diana Burrell and a host of others.<\/p>\n

Places are still available for participants and all details can be found at\u00a0hebridesensemble.com<\/a>. Tickets for the concert will be available on the door.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
