Our Composer has been announced!

Music for Everyone recently applied to be part of the Adopt a Composer scheme run by Making Music, the national body which represents music organisations - it seemed an ideal opportunity to commission a piece especially for our 30th birthday celebrations at no cost to Music for Everyone. Out of 130 applications only 6 were successful and we were really pleased to be one of them!

On Saturday 6 October, Angela went down to London for the big launch event of the Adopt a Composer scheme. The excitement mounted as each of the six groups were paired with a young composer..... who would our composer be?

We are pleased to announce that her name is Rebecca Dale!

As you can see from her website http://www.rebeccadale.com/ Rebecca studied at New College, Oxford University and went to Bristol University to further her composition studies specialising in music for film and television. She is now an associate composer with the London Symphony Orchestra as part of its Soundhub scheme and is working for the BBC as assistant to the composer for the period drama The Paradise which is currently being shown on BBC 1 on Tuesday evenings.

She is so excited about writing a piece for large choir and full orchestra and is really looking forward to meeting the Nottingham Festival Chorus and Nottingham Concert Orchestra - we will keep you updated on new developments!
