composers

SYMPOSiA are here to promote and perform new music happening in Scotland. We have worked with many talented and creative composers and theatre companies and are always interested in developing new collaborations. We work hard to find performance opportunities for Scottish and Scotland-based composers and continue to work with the Sound Festival, Music Nova (at the West End Festival) and PLUG at the RSAMD.

One of the most innovative ways we have of working is through our Associate Composer Posts. Through this post, composers (of any musical genre), artists, theatre devisors or filmmakers can apply to work with us for up to a year. The Associate Composer will meet once a month with a group of our players to workshop ideas and collaborate on a piece of work which will be performed at the end of the process.

If you would like to work with SYMPOSiA or have ideas you would like to explore, contact us at info@symposiamusic.co.uk.

“Just to say a big thank you to all of you for your hard work. It was great to work with such an open-minded, dedicated and friendly ensemble, and I was really happy with how you played it. I was so pleased to hear it played with such conviction and poise.”
