The final of this year’s Young Composer of Dyfed Competition will take place at Rhos-y-Gilwen near Rhoshill on Saturday 4 April at 7.30pm.
The eight young finalists come from Aberystwyth, Carmarthen, Ferryside, Llandeilo and Dinas Cross and range in age from 15 to 20 years old. They have been selected from 22 entrants.
The finalists’ compositions will be performed by award winning percussionists O Duo and adjudicated by Dr Lyn Davies, composer and Head of Vocal Studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama.
Dr Antony Griew, Secretary to the Young Composer of Dyfed Trustees, said: "The evening promises to be full of artistry, originality and sheer exuberance as O Duo presents this array of exciting new works, culminating in one of the young finalists being named Young Composer of Dyfed 2009."
The final takes place at Rhos-y-Gilwen in Pembrokeshire on Saturday 4 April at 7.30pm. Tickets are available for £5 on the door, or free to those in full time education and teachers bringing school groups.
The Young Composer of Dyfed competition has been supported by the Arts Council of Wales, Carmarthenshire County Council, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and PRS Foundation for New Music.
