Youth & Education
vsNEW 2007/08
vsNEW is a brand new initiative of the Victoria Symphony.
Coordinated by resident composers Anna Höstman and Tobin Stokes,
vsNEW will involve young composers from Victoria. Over 6 months
these composers will work with three Victoria Symphony musicians
and their teachers to produce new compositions. Young composers will learn about
writing for an ensemble and for instruments which they may not
otherwise have access to.
The students will be encouraged to enter their finished works into
the composition section of the Greater Victoria Performing Arts
Festival 2007 and may even be featured in future Symphony concerts.
The Victoria Symphony is proud to support young artists and hope
that this program will encourage more new explorations into music.
For more information and application forms please contact Karen Seeto, Education Coordinator (250) 385-9771, ext 232.
