Jerwood Opera Writing Fellowships 2012-13

25 Nov 2011

Aldeburgh Music supported by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation are offering a rare opportunity for composers and their collaborators to receive tailor-made support for writing a new opera.

Four Fellowships will be awarded, with applications open to anyone with little or no experience of opera, including graduates of the recent Jerwood Opera Writing Foundation.

The Fellowships will offer support to composers and their collaborators during the creation of a new work, providing advice, practical help and a bursary of up to £9,000 for each project.

Four projects will be selected for Fellowships beginning in March 2012 and lasting up to 18 months.

The deadline for receipt of applications is 16 January 2012.
