NUMU & ROYAL OPERA HOUSE FANFARE COMPETITION
Aged 11-14? Win the chance to have your music arranged, recorded and played at the Royal Opera House!
NUMU, the free platform for students to showcase their own tracks, and feedback and collaborate on others, has teamed up with the Royal Opera House to bring you the Fanfare competition. Open to 11-14 year olds, the mission is to compose a 30 second fanfare that will let people know the big show is about to begin. Winners will see their track arranged by the composer in residence and recorded by the Royal Opera House Orchestra. Entries close 12 February 2010.
All you have to do is write a 30 second track that really packs a punch and grabs people's attention. You can write for any instrument you want, but we’re told that the judges want to be surprised. The key is to put your heart into it and try and capture the listener's imagination. They want you to write a Fanfare that will let people know a great show is about to begin.
The winning entries will be chosen by a panel of Royal Opera House composers, conductors and professional musicians. Each winner will have the opportunity to attend a workshop and arrange their fanfare with a professional composer for the Royal Opera House Orchestra. The fanfares will be recorded by the Orchestra and used as the front of house announcement sounds, to herald the start of a performance.
Think big. Think striking. Let your imagination run wild!
The competition is open to any NUMU members aged 11-14 and you can work alone or in a group. To find out more about how you or your school can join NUMU, visit www.numu.org.uk
