Musicians in the Making

Are you a teacher or budding musician? Do you know a student who is looking to gain that all-important experience of performing before live audiences?

If so, the ESO is looking for you!

Musicians In The Making is a program presented by TELUS that features promising student soloists and ensembles performing half-hour showcases prior to selected ESO performances in the lobbies of the Winspear Centre. All participants are then invited to be our guest at the concert afterwards, courtesy of our friends at TELUS.

Young Composers Project

This program provides an aspiring composer a $1000 scholarship and mentorship opportunity with an established Edmonton composer. This year's young composer is Sean Doherty, and his piece will be premiered on September 6, 2010 at Symphony Under the Sky.

Aspiring young composers in grades 10 - 12 can apply for this exciting opportunity. This year's application deadline has passed, and the next deadline will be in November 2010. Contact Susan at 780-401-2531 or education@winspearcentre.com for more information.

The ESO would like to thank our Young Composer Project Program Partner, Canadian Western Bank.
