LSO Jerwood Composer+ supports early-career composers in planning and delivering two artistic projects. Composers gain valuable knowledge and practical experience to develop their own opportunities and careers.
The scheme, which is supported by the Jerwood Developing Artists Fund, recruits two composers each year to a 15-month placement. Mentored by LSO staff, they are encouraged to develop entrepreneurial skills around programming for specific audiences, planning, marketing, budgeting, fundraising and evaluation.
Composers have access to composition workshops and mentoring with other composers, industry professionals and musicians to develop their artistic practice. Through the programme they showcase work of their own, as well as works by other composers.
