I assume that you know about Ora Singers, who commission lots of material (some of which the choir I belong(ed) to in York has sung). Their CDs are listed on their website.
My partner gave a donation to the choir (here in York; not Ora) to commission three pieces for us.
We were about to perform the first in March 2020 when everything ground to a halt.
It is now scheduled for a concert in April 2022 (fingers crossed), and we hope soon to launch a search for young composers for the remaining two works, in collaboration with the University of York.
PS: Oops! I might have misread the thread title as commissions (or even competitions), but I'll let my post stand anyway!Last edited by Pulcinella; 02-05-21, 12:59. Reason: PS added, then further clarification of who the commissions are for! -
Yes please let it stand. All in favour of music being commissioned by choirs and by all groups for that matter.Comment
