Two Manchester composers chosen for Next Wave 2 higher education programme
16 May 2017
We are thrilled to see two talented composers from The University of Manchester’s Music Department selected to take part in the Next Wave 2 programme.
Emma Wilde and Jack Sheen have been chosen to participate in the artist development programme alongside emerging composers Alex Hall, Joanna Ward, Peter Wilson, and Robin Haigh.
Next Wave 2 is a unique programme designed to promote and support composers as they transition from education settings into professional music careers. It stems from a partnership between the national charity for new music, Sound and Music, Sage Gateshead and NMC Recordings.
The six emerging composers will receive support and mentoring for over a year. They will each develop new works for small ensembles of Royal Northern Sinfonia musicians with one of three highly acclaimed solo artists – Quinta, Loré Lixenberg and Luke Carver Goss.
