CBSO Centre, Birmingham

In 2019, BCMG joined forces with the prestigious Central Conservatoire of Music in Beijing for the momentous 10th China ConTempo Composition Competition. This groundbreaking competition opened its doors to composers of all nationalities, under the age of 35, inviting them to weave their musical tapestries.

As we joyfully return to the memories of our visit to Beijing in November 2019, we embrace the opportunity to complete the artistic exchange.

The anticipation has been building, and now, we invite you to witness the culmination of this collaboration as we perform the UK premieres of these 4 winning compositions that transcended borders and traditions.

 

What to expect

• Insights by composer Jia Guoping and prize-winning composers.
• The UK premieres of evocative contemporary compositions fused with traditional Chinese instruments.
• A celebration of the artistic heritage of two great cultures.
