Emerging Composers 2024 - A Call for Scores

In support of emerging composers around the world, Friends of the Vox is thrilled to announce this inaugural event in collaboration with Dan Forrest Music!

We invite emerging composers, of any age, to submit a new work to Friends of the Vox.

The compositions will be adjudicated by James Meaders (Founder and Artistic Director, Vox Anima London) & Dan Forrest (Composer), and the winning works will be premiered and recorded by Vox Anima Chamber Choir. Alongside this, the winners will receive individual feedback from Dan Forrest and there are also monetary prizes available for the top 3 scores: £1,000, £500 and £250 respectively.

Artistic Advisor for Friends of the Vox, James Meaders said of the scheme:

As the Artistic Advisor to Friends of the Vox, I am delighted to announce Emerging Composers 2024 -a call for scores from emerging composers with an adjudication component, three prizes awarded, and a performance recording to be provided. Please see the details below and consider this my personal invitation to you to submit that score. “
