LSQ New Music Award
The LSQ are passionate about commissioning new music. The group felt that with such a wealth of compositional talent at Universities and Conservatoires, these students should have a platform to write for the saxophone quartet genre and showcase their works.
The competition sees students submit previously unperformed works to a yearly changing criteria. The pieces are shortlisted and a live final at The Warehouse in London sees the pieces performed by the LSQ to a panel of expert judges which in the past have included Graham Fitkin, Andy Scott, Gabriel Jackson, Andrew Poppy and Sarah Field.
The LSQ New Music Award is now in its third year with previous winners including James Williamson (RAM), Mark David Boden (RWCMD) and Benjamin Tubb (RNCM).
The next competition final will take place in November 2010 with entries being accepted from April 2010 – August 2010. Competition guidelines and application forms will be available to download from this page from Jan 2010.
