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

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.
