The launch of the first Digital Composer-in-Residence competition
Open to any member of the community, this exciting competition makes Dilettante the first social network to commission and present work from its own members. With a prize that includes a year-long 'virtual residency' on the Dilettante site, the competition offers the winning composer a sustained platform and profile for their work. It also offers listeners the opportunity to choose the winner, by voting for one of three finalists' pieces on the Dilettante website.
How it works:
Composers must submit their scores and audio files by 1st September 09. These will go to our international panel of judges, who include the dynamic young composers Anna Meredith and Nico Muhly, the American conductor Michael Christie, and Andrew Burke, the Chief Executive of the London Sinfonietta. The judges will select three finalists.
Then we'll create podcasts of those finalists' works and post them on the Dilettante site, where visitors can choose the winner by voting for their favourite piece.
Finally, on 5th November 09 we'll present all three finalists' works at a concert at London's Wilton's Music Hall, the world's oldest surviving music hall, where the winner will be announced and the virtual residency will begin.
You can find more information about the Digital Composer-in-Residence competition, including how to submit a score, on our Digital Composer-in-Residence page.
