After 30 fantastic submissions for our competition for emerging composers, and a great workshop final with three composers who all brought something special and very different, it was time for a very difficult decision.
Following much consideration, we are thrilled to announce the winner – Nicholas Gawley’s Vienna c. 1825, colourised. We can’t wait to work with Nicholas on the piece which will be performed in our concert on 22 June, 2025.


The three finalists – Pierre Fontaine, Eric Davis and Nicholas Gawley
