(Media-Newswire.com) - The AIYF Compose! competition is calling for musically gifted youngsters to submit scores for the contest ahead of the deadline for submissions on 1 September 2008.
String quartet compositions of between five to ten minutes duration are invited for the competition, which will see the winning entrant's work performed as part of the Aberdeen International Youth Festival 2009.
This is the first time the competition has been made open to youngsters aged between 13 and 21 years old from throughout Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
Five finalists will be shortlisted for the competition and given the opportunity to participate in a one day workshop under the guidance of leading international composer Judith Wear.
