Drogheda Music Commission - deadline 24 January

To mark the 600th anniversary of the unification of Drogheda, Co Louth in 1412, Drogheda Borough Commission wishes to commission a musical composition which will be premiered in an event in early November 2012.

The Council invites open proposals from composers for works of at least 15 minutes duration. The proposed work will celebrate the unification, and in the words of the project brief “give voice to the concept that co-operation and partnership leads to achievement and progress.” The selected composer will be expected to engage with the community in Drogheda and the style of the composition and performance is open.

Interested composers should apply with an initial expression of interest and CV before 24 January 2012.

Full details on the project along with an application form are available to download here.
