Summary

Britten Sinfonia Academy: At Lunch preparation – 30 June, 1, 7 & 8 July
In six intensive courses across the season, the talented young musicians in Britten Sinfonia Academy (BSA) explore different aspects of repertoire, performance and musical leadership for which Britten Sinfonia is renowned.

Course six marks the culmination of the BSA 2017-18 year with two At Lunch concerts in Norwich, St Andrew’s Hall and in Cambridge.

Britten Sinfonia Academy Composer Hub – 30 June
The BSA composer hub aims to support talented young composers aged 11-18 from the East of England. We aim to develop their creative, technical and stylistic skills through a programme of tailored compositional briefs, mentoring, rehearsals and public performance opportunities. This year the hub is led by professional composer Tom Coult, who will mentor the four students across the year and attend one day of each of the six orchestral courses. Tom will also write a new commission for the Academy which will be premiered during our At Lunch Four concerts in Norwich and Cambridge in July 2018.
