Congratulations to Dr Bentley!

The Royal Scottish National Orchestra has just announced the five emerging composers selected to join its Composers’ Hub this year, and we are thrilled that Dr Bentley has been included. Chosen from over 100 applicants, Dr Bentley will have the opportunity to work closely with Scotland’s national orchestra to develop compositions, with guidance and support from award-winning composer Stuart MacRae. The programme will include the composers working with the Orchestra to write a short piece for chamber orchestra, to be performed in January 2020,  and a ten-minute work scored for full symphony orchestra, with a public workshop at the RSNO Centre’s New Auditorium in April 2020, and culminates with one individual being chosen to have their work included in the Orchestra’s 2020:21 Season. We send our warmest congratulations and the very best of luck to Dr Bentley!
