Following the success of Hope Felts-King’s composition ‘The Albatross’, that opened the SUSO Centenary Concert, we are looking to commission a composer to create a piece to open our concert in Spring 2024.

The chosen composer will have the opportunity to workshop their piece with the full orchestra in a SUSO rehearsal and will receive guidance from the Musical Director throughout the process.
