Courses: Composition

Tutor: John Metcalf

Led by Wales’ pre-eminent composer, John Metcalf, this course, which will be limited to 6 composers, will combine individual tuition with class work and time for private study and composition. The focal point will be the opportunity for short pieces (up to 7 mins duration) to be read-through in a workshos with the resident ‘Aurora Orchestra’ who are skilled interpreters of contemporary music. There may well be additional sessions (depending on time-table) for individual instrumentalists to work with the composers on the practicalities of extended techniques. Successful candidates will discuss their aspirations with John Metcalf several weeks ahead of the course.
