London's Cultural Olympiad starts search for new music
The search for original pieces of music
is to become the focus of the London 2012 Olympic Games arts
programme.
New Music 20x12 hopes to discover 20 new works in any musical
style, each lasting 12 minutes, to be part of the Cultural
Olympiad.
They will then be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and may also feature at
official events linked to the London Olympic Games.
The work, from a UK-based composer, must be submitted by 1
October.
Each piece will premiere in 2012 and receive at least two
additional performances.
'Wonderful opportunity'
The chosen composers, ensembles, festivals, music organisations or
musicians will also get financial support and help with
professional development.
A panel of experts chaired by Roger Wright, controller of BBC
Radio 3 and director of the BBC Proms, will then cut the entrants
down to a top 20.
Cultural Olympiad director Ruth Mackenzie described New Music
20x12 as "a wonderful opportunity for composers and audiences to
celebrate 2012 together".
Mr Wright said: "Projects such as New Music 20x12 will showcase
the exceptional talent and creativity of the UK's musical
community, and we're delighted to be able to support them on BBC
Radio 3."
It is the brainchild of private patrons David Cohen and Jillian
Barker and is backed by funding body the PRS for Music Foundation
in partnership with the BBC, London 2012 and Sound and Music.

Big Changes to Mini Mediabox (England)
Mediabox which is a fund that offers disadvantaged
13-19 year olds (up to 25 if they have a disability) the
opportunity to create their own media projects has announced
significant changes to its ‘Mini Mediabox’ grant scheme. The aim
is to increase the range of organisations that are able to access
funding for youth-led media projects.
The changes include; increasing the annual
turnover threshold from £100,000 to £150,000; accepting
applications from umbrella groups; opening the scheme up to
schools and colleges; and making the application process easier
and faster for first time applicants.
‘Mini Mediabox’, which is the smallest grant
scheme on offer through Mediabox provides grants ranging from
£1,000 to £5,000 and is designed to give organisations that have a
limited track record of delivering media projects the chance to
extend their experience. Mini Mediabox which will run until 2011
has a rolling application deadline; however, some cut off points
for assessment will be announced periodically.
