Composer callout: be part of WeCompose 2025-2026

14 May 2025

We are seeking composers who are passionate about working with young people and facilitating their creative ideas. Join a dynamic, reflective and committed cohort of composers working with students, teachers and musicians to transform how composition is taught in secondary schools.

WeCompose is our transformative in-schools composition project: a collaboration between teachers, professional composers, outstanding ensembles and leading music educators. Developing high quality resources and approaches, we work directly in schools in South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, the East Riding of Yorkshire as well as in East London, Milton Keynes and the Solent Area (Portsmouth, Southampton, Isle of Wight). Our first three years have reached over 1620 students, and in 2025/2026, we aim to reach 2,460 young people across the country. Beyond the three years of currently funded delivery we will share our learning as widely as possible, making resources, approaches and training available to all teachers who wish to use them.
