One of our most enduring and successful programs, the Composition Project provides young and emerging Western Australian composers with the opportunity to develop their skills in a professional orchestral environment.
Participants are mentored over a four month period both by the Artistic Director James Ledger and WASO musicians. Through a series of individual lessons, workshops and rehearsals, participants compose a new work for 14-piece chamber ensemble, performed by WASO musicians at the Final Showing on the evening of Monday 10 June in front of a live audience as part of Education Week 2019^.
This project has helped previous participants successfully gain placement in national and international composition programs, post-graduate studies and secure professional commissions and residencies.
