Inspire: Young composers
| 10:00 UK time, Friday, 20 February 2009
If you're aged 12-18 and you write your own original music, kick-start your career as a young composer. Whether you've been composing for years or you're just starting out, or wondering if it's the thing for you, check out the annual Inspire scheme brought to you by the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Proms.
There's a Composer Lab being held in Glasgow on 15th March. This is a chance to join musicians and composers in a day of music making, exploration and discovery. Bring your instrument, your latest idea, a rhythm, a melody, a finished work or just a friend. Try things out, question the experts, get feedback and develop your own musical creativity.
And if this boosts your confidence, enter the Young Composers' Competition 2009. Winning compositions will be performed during the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Proms season and broadcast on Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio 3. There are no restrictions on the type of music you can enter - it can be classical, jazz, pop, instrumental, vocal, anything you like.
