What makes Composition: Wales so special?

For many composers, working with an orchestra can be both exhilarating and daunting.

Composition: Wales provides a supportive space, where professional musicians, world-class composers, and conductors offer feedback, while expert mentoring helps ideas flourish.

At the heart of the programme is our Composer in Association, Gavin Higgins, who guides participants from the first workshop to the final performance.

In this video, Gavin shares what makes Composition: Wales so special, and why seeing composers grow in confidence is one of the most rewarding parts of the journey for him.
