Nieuw Ensemble – Turkish Composers Competition

Based in Amsterdam, the Nieuw Ensemble is organizing a competition for Turkish composers. This event will take place as part of the 2012 Turkey – The Netherlands programme, which commemorates the 400-year-long relationship and cultural exchange between Turkey and the Netherlands. All composers with Turkish citizenship born after 1 January 1977 are invited to write a work for the Nieuw Ensemble and to submit their scores before 1 March 2012. All entries will be judged by an international jury. The selected works will be premiered by the Nieuw Ensemble in Amsterdam and in The Hague in May 2012. Composers of selected works will be invited to Amsterdam and hosted by the NE to attend rehearsals and the premiere.
