An opportunity
to improve composing skills and to meet other
composers is made possible in an intensive and
most enjoyable week at Canford School in Dorset,
UK, by professional composer and conductor,
Malcolm Singer. Malcolm Singer is Director of Music at the Yehudi
Menuhin School and a professor of Composition at
the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He has
been commissioned both by the BBC Symphony
Orchestra (Making Music) and the BBC
Singers (Kaddish). His works include Rites
and Rituals for the Sibelius Academy
Orchestra in Helsinki, Dragons for
children's choir and orchestra, and Elegy
for violin solo written for Lord Menuhin. More
information at www.malcolmsinger.co.uk.
The Composers'
Workshop at
The Canford Summer School of Music was started up
by Malcolm Singer in 1987, and each year it
proves to be inspiring for those who attend. The
Composers' Workshop caters for composers of all
ages and standards, including student composers
from the music colleges and universities, as well
as keen amateurs. The course is devoted to
practical composition as well as the study of new
music by leading composers. Participants will
have the opportunity to hear their own music
played in workshop, and those who play an
instrument or sing will be able to test-run works
by other participants.
