Youth
& Music 2007 Young Composers Concert | This
is a choral youthfest. Part I features music by ‘young great composers’
(Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn and Britten, all writing when
they were the same age as our competition composers). Part II will be
new
pieces by ‘great young composers’ (five previous winners of past Young
Composers Competitions). Part III will feature the premieres of this
night’s
‘choral winners’ and presentation of this year’s competition awards)
and
Part IV highlights five composers whose music we first heard in our
Interplay
Composer Workshops. It should be an amazing display of youthful
creativity.
