Composition Challenges Celebration 2025

Welcome to the Composition Challenges Celebration 2025! 

Tune in to hear London Sinfonietta musicians Amy Thompson (bassoon), Joe Richards (percussion), and Steven Cricklow (violin). We’ve received over 200 compositions from students across the country and are excited to celebrate your work by presenting a series of pieces performed by our very own musicians. The series consists of four challenges:

• Challenge 1: Postcard Pieces. Explore how shapes and colours can be used to create new music. 
• Challenge 2: Numbers and Patterns. Discover compositions created using numbers and words. 
• Challenge 3: Deep Listening. From trucks, birds, and trains to trees, our young composers have been carefully listening to the world around them and have created some amazing pieces. Tune in to hear some unusual sounds on the bassoon!
• Challenge 4: Words and Music. Bringing stories to life through rhythm and lyrics.

Whether you listen to them all or just a few, we hope you'll join us in supporting our young composers! Want to get involved? Sign up to take part in Composition Challenges in the new school year: https://forms.office.com/e/Y4LJJzZLXY
