\u201cThe Young Composers\u2019 Forum organised by the Composers Society of Singapore was a truly meaningful experience for me as an emerging composer of new music.<\/p>\n
At the forefront, YCF provided a platform to work with professional live musicians and mentors to realise my music in a live performance, something I truly value as an emerging composer. Through YCF, I too managed to meet fellow composers from vastly different backgrounds, which allowed me to develop a greater sense of empathy for other composers who might not think in the same way as I do. Also, there were opportunities to engage with many professionals in the music field, learning from their musicality and practical experience as working musicians. All this makes the YCF a truly comprehensive and fulfilling composition workshop which should be continued, reaching out and nurturing future young composers in Singapore.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 2nd edition of CSS\u2019 Young Composers Forum took place from October 2023 to March 2024. Under the tutelage of senior CSS composers Joyce Koh, John Sharpley and Yuting Tan, 9 young composers were selected to undergo a 6-month creative period of meet-the-musician sessions, lectures, individual lessons and workshop sessions, in order to develop new pieces for local new music collective Weird Aftertaste. YCF 2023 culminated in a final concert at the Singapore Composers Festival 2024, which took place on 23 March 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cThe Young Composers\u2019 Forum organised by the Composers Society of Singapore was a truly meaningful experience for me as an emerging composer of new music.
