Composition Course Info

The quintet felt it was time that their academy students also had the chance to experience new works for their own ensembles and so the Stockholm Chamber Brass Academy Composers Course was created!

​

Throughout the Stockholm Chamber Brass Academy week every composition student will receive the following:
• The chance to compose a work for brass ensemble of between 5-10 minutes in duration which will be premiered at the Academy

• Individual and Group lessons every day with our composition teacher, Ivo Nilsson, working on a brand new piece for brass ensemble
• Daily rehearsals on your piece with one of the course's brass ensembles
• A public concert of the 5 new pieces by the Composition Course students

• A video and audio recording of your new piece

​
