Go Compose! 2019

Are you a musician aged 14 – 19 years, interested in stretching your composing skills? Go Compose! is a unique opportunity to work with professional composers and musicians. 

Go Compose! is a composition course for young composers and creative musicians aged 14-19 and in full time education. It’s a unique opportunity to work with professional composers and musicians. Over the 3 days you will create your own, original piece of music which will be performed and you will also receive a recording of your piece.

Go Compose! 2019 will be led by composers Ailie Robertson (soundComposer in Residence) and Linda Buckley.

Are you a musician aged 14 – 19 years, interested in stretching your composing skills? We’d love to see you on the next project! Apply before 20th September HERE – Contact participate@sound-scotland.co.uk for more information
