Jerwood Composer+
Supporting composers to programme, plan and deliver their own concerts.
LSO Jerwood Composer+ supports early-career composers in programming, planning and delivering chamber-scale concerts at LSO St Luke’s, including work of their own developed through the scheme.
Two composers each year develop two concerts over a 16-month placement. Mentored by key LSO staff, they build skills and experience in programming, event planning, budgeting, marketing, fundraising and evaluation.
Who Is It For?
The programme welcomes applications from composers with a diverse range of musical approaches and backgrounds who are interested in writing for classical orchestral musicians. We are particularly interested in applications from composers from historically under-represented groups such as ethnically diverse composers, women or non-binary composers, disabled composers and composers from outside the classical tradition.
We support Sound and Music’s Fair Access Principles, a code of best practice for running successful, open and inclusive artist development programmes, competitions and awards for composers.
