Our 2022 Call for Scores is now closed. We are hugely grateful to every composer who sent their music to us and we have loved getting to know your work!
We are thrilled to announce that this year we have been able to offer not two but three commissions for our upcoming season! Here are the details of the composers:
Maja Bosnic will write a new chamber work for us which will feature in our July 7, 2022 concert to close the Tzlil Meudchan Festival in Tel Aviv.

In 2018 she joined the Purcell School of Music on the George Drexler Scholarship where she studied with Brian Elias and Joseph Phibbs. In 2019 she was selected to be one of the composers in residence of the National Youth Orchestra where she had her pieces premiered at the Barbican centre. Since then she has worked with various UK based ensembles and has worked on projects with the Tate Modern where she had two works premiered to the public for the opening of the Boiler House. Her piece Sirens for Harp and Orchestra was selected to be performed by the Purcell Symphony Orchestra and was one of the winning entries for the BBC Young Composer’s Competition 2020.

Maja Bosnić is a composer and performer from Belgrade. She is drawn to impossible missions, absurd solutions, limited material, playfulness, uncertain outcomes, audience participation, treating instruments as ready-made objects of expression, and treating everyday-life objects as musical instruments. Bosnić obtained a PhD degree in music composition at Goldsmiths, University of London (UK), and is currently working as Assistant Lecturer in Composition at the Faculty of Music at the University of Arts in Belgrade (Serbia). She writes pieces for solo, chamber, ensemble, and orchestra performances, as well as, projects for electronics, smartphones, videos and interactive settings with audience participation.
