WeCompose 2025-6

WeCompose is Music in the Round’s transformative in-schools composition project: a collaboration between teachers, professional composers, outstanding ensembles and leading music educators which aims to change how composition is taught in secondary schools.

Participating ensembles have so far included the Ligeti String Quartet, Phaeda Ensemble, our own Bridge Ensemble wind quintet, the Bailey String Quartet which features graduates of our previous Bridge scheme for string players from Black and minority ethnic backgrounds) and our new visiting musicians the Consone Quartet.

Developing high quality resources and approaches, we work directly in schools in Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, the East Riding of Yorkshire and the wider northern region as well as in Barking & Dagenham, Milton Keynes and Portsmouth.
