———————————–
The LSQ are passionate about commissioning new music. The group felt that with such a wealth of compositional talent at Universities and Conservatoires, students should have a platform to write for the saxophone quartet genre and showcase their works.
The biannual competition sees students submit previously unperformed works to a yearly changing criteria. Entries are shortlisted and a live final at The Warehouse in London sees the pieces performed by the LSQ to a panel of expert judges which in previous years has included Graham Fitkin, Andy Scott, Gabriel Jackson, Andrew Poppy and Sarah Field.
The LSQ New Music Award is now in its third season with previous winners including James Williamson (RAM), Mark David Boden (RWCMD) and Benjamin Tubb (RNCM). Winners pieces have been recorded on the LSQ’s two Signum Records These Visions and Flux and also published by contemporary music specialists Staunch Music.
The next competition final will take place in July 2011 with entries being accepted from November 2011 – February 2012.
