SOUNZ and Westlake Community Project 2020

Opportunity

A collaboration between Westlake Symphony Orchestra and SOUNZ Centre for New Zealand Music.

The Westlake Symphony Orchestra is an accomplished school orchestra conducted by David Squire. The aim of this project is to encourage New Zealand composers at all career stages to have high quality works available for non-professional orchestras. By making these works available through SOUNZ Online orchestras will be able to watch and listen to repertoire they can programme and perform. The selected works will be recorded and filmed in October 2020 by SOUNZ.

  • 2 bassoons
  • 4 horns
  • 3-4 trumpets
  • 3 trombones (1 bass)
  • 1 tuba
  • strings
  • 6 percussionists

The duration of the work should be 2-8 minutes. There is also the option of submitting a concerto work featuring a trumpet, clarinet or piano soloist.
