New Music 20x12

deadline: Friday 1 October 2010


The PRS for Music Foundation (PRSF) has launched its new Cultural Olympiad music programme, New Music 20x12.

New Music 20x12 will support 20 12-minute, specially-commissioned works of music to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The selected works will premiere in 2012 and will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3. Winning composers and musicians will also benefit from networking and professional development opportunities.

A panel of experts, chaired by Roger Wright - Controller BBC Radio 3 and Director, BBC Proms, will be announced later this year. Music organisations, festivals, ensembles, promoters and venues from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are invited to submit ideas for new work, in any musical genre, that they would like to commission from a UK-based composer by Friday 1 October 2010.
