Riot Ensemble: Call for Composers to Write New Scores (UK)

A musical ensemble tunes up in a dark studio. Blinding lights behind them make their instruments gleam.

The London-based Riot Ensemble are looking to commission two composers to write them new pieces.

The first composer will write a 5-8’ quartet for flute, clarinet, violin, and cello (with or without electronics) to be premiered at the festival Tzlil Meudcan in Israel in July 2022. The commission fee for this work will be £750.

The second composer will write a 10-15’ ensemble work for Riot Ensemble’s October 2022 concert at Kings Place. The composer will select a line-up of up to twelve musicians (with or without electronics) drawn from David Del Tredici’s Syzygy. The commission fee for this work will be £1500 - with an additional fund of up to £500 available to offset travel costs - and the premiere will take place in London on 14 October 2022.
